From visual designer
to design engineer
The medium changed from canvas to React. The craft didn't.
While still at Amazon full-time, I started shipping my own products end-to-end: designing, prompting, and coding with Claude Code and Cursor.
I stopped handing off Figma files and waiting. Now I design and build the front-end myself, testing ideas in code before the spec is written. The feedback loop went from weeks to hours.
Designed the end-to-end experience for an unreleased AI-powered hardware product. Led interaction design, prototyping, and cross-functional alignment across engineering, PM, and research.
