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.
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.
Covered the full design surface, from first-time setup to daily use, bridging AI capabilities with physical product constraints.
Designed key features across tablet and TV platforms for an inclusive hybrid meeting system. Led AI feature designs including Smart Reply, AI Meeting Assistant, Live Meeting Agenda, and Action Items. Built and maintained a design system with 400+ components used across the product family. 13% SCAT improvement (~$2.8M pipeline), 30% post-meeting time reduction.
Designed an AI career site with a resume matching system that automatically scored and ranked candidates. Built a conversational AI chatbot for candidate engagement and a recruiting dashboard for hiring managers and recruiters. 97% candidate advancement rate, 25K+ monthly traffic, 71% faster screening.
Gamification design for 5M+ users. Created social running mechanics, achievement systems, and community features that drove daily engagement and retention.
Designed and launched the academy's website, marketing campaigns, and brand collateral. Translated complex educational offerings into clear, compelling visual experiences.
Created visual identities, landing pages, and marketing materials for education products. Established brand guidelines and design systems from scratch.
