At my desk, New York

I’m KD, a product designer in the NYC metro area. At Amazon, I worked on AI shopping experiences, ratings frameworks, and Homepage components for international markets. I care about understanding what customers need, making practical decisions with the team, and carrying the work through to launch.

A bit about me

I like getting to the point where a team can say, “This is what matters, and this is what we’re doing next.” I ask questions, bring the useful evidence together, and work through tradeoffs with the people building the product.

Sometimes that means refining one interaction. Sometimes it means creating a pattern that works across several experiences. I match the approach to the problem and stay involved through implementation.

How I work

  1. Align

    Agree on the customer problem, business goal, timeline, and constraints.

  2. Understand

    Use existing research, an audit, or a study to identify what still needs an answer.

  3. Explore & decide

    Explore options, define hypotheses and success measures when testing is needed, and refine the direction with the team.

  4. Build & evaluate

    Finalize technical and accessibility specs, work with engineering, and evaluate experiment results where applicable.

    Refine when needed

  5. Ship & learn

    Support launch, refine the guidance, and capture what we learned.

Refine when needed

Team alignment Documented decisions Regular updates

The approach adapts to the project. Not every decision needs a new study or experiment.

How I use AI

I use AI to help organize information, check for gaps, and explore ideas. On the ratings project, for example, it helped me check the coverage of my audit. I review the output against the source material and own the interpretation and design decisions.
