MY WORK

At SiriusXM, I designed and shipped a partner-facing automotive platform for their next-gen product, accelerating implementation time by 2x for 26+ automotive partners. I took an ambiguous, existing business problem into a concrete design solution in 6 weeks — researching, designing, and presenting findings and shipped work to leadership by the end of the summer.

My process combined competitive analyses, primary user interviews (partnering with UXR), 2 rounds of user testing with design and engineering stakeholders, and iterating on feedback. I also used Claude Code throughout design discovery and prototyping.

THANK YOU

Thank you to the Automotive Experience Design team for having me as a Product Design Intern this summer! I learned quickly from senior designers, leadership, and my manager and mentor. I'm excited to continue designing at the intersection of entertainment and technology.
