About Me
I'm Becca Schutzius, an AI-forward Product Designer at Trimble — formerly the first product design hire and 16th overall employee at Document Crunch, an AI-powered construction tech startup acquired by Trimble in 2026. I lead end-to-end product design for the contract review platform, owning core document analysis and review experiences from discovery through launch and designing interfaces that translate complex AI capabilities into workflows construction professionals trust and adopt.
I don't just design AI products — I use AI to do my job. I prototype with Claude, Cursor, and Figma Make, which has compressed concept-to-testable cycles from weeks to days and lets me validate more ideas against real customer data. I care deeply about making AI feel trustworthy and human: honest error states, clear explainability, and workflows that amplify what people are already good at rather than replacing their judgment.
My background spans product design, front-end development, and product management across litigation tech, healthcare analytics, and construction AI — always focused on making complex systems feel simple. I hold a degree from Millikin University.
Outside of work I'm a former college volleyball player, an avid runner, a health enthusiast, and a mom of three. I approach training the same way I approach design — with curiosity, consistency, and a healthy obsession with getting better. The discipline it takes to show up every day, whether on a long run or in a design sprint, makes me a more focused and resilient designer.
Empathy First
Understanding what motivates people is paramount to creating the best experiences — whether it's a user reviewing a contract or a teammate shipping code.
AI-Augmented Work
Using AI as a creative partner — for prototyping, specs, and handoff — means more bets placed, more ideas tested, and better products shipped faster.
Cross-Functional
The best work happens when design, engineering, and product collaborate closely from the start and share ownership of the outcome.
