Alexa+ Ticket Search
Amazon • 2025
I helped design and launch Scout-for-X, Alexa's first AI-powered proactive ticket search experience.

My key design contributions included:
1. Defined how Alexa could proactively engage users with clarity and trust.

Alexa Routines
Amazon • 2023 - 2025
Alexa Routines is a feature used by 38.4M daily active users who perform over 1B weekly actions. Despite this scale, we identified key challenges around discovery, management, and personalization. To address these issues, I led the development of an 18-month vision for AI-enhanced Routines and automation experiences.
My key design contributions included:
1. Designed end-to-end voice and touch flows for presence-based triggers. Balancing ease-of-use with privacy, transparency and consent.
2. Designed the end-to-end flow for a new calendar-based trigger, collaborating across Alexa teams to seamlessly integrate this feature with existing calendar functionalities.
3. Increased transparency and user confidence by implementing visual status indicators for failed routines.
Alexa Communications
Amazon • 2021 - 2023

Echo Spot
Amazon • 2022
Echo Spot is a compact, voice-first device with a visual display designed for everyday spaces like a nightstand. I led the crucial effort to adapt communication features from larger Echo devices to the compact Echo Spot.
My key design contributions included:
1. Comprehensive design audit to understand how core communication features would translate to the smaller form factor.
2. Created detailed design specifications that ensured consistency and accessibility across different device sizes.
3. As a stretch goal, I authored business requirements, defining the notification expereince for missed messages.
Spider-Man Icon and Promotional Cards
Amazon • 2022
I wanted to expand my design toolkit, so I took on the challenge of creating the illustration of a new calling effect: Spider-Man. I designed the icon customers tap to launch the effect during a call. Launched on May 26, the Spider-Man Effect quickly became our most popular, with over 53,000 uses by 16,000+ customers in its first week—more than 1.5x the engagement of our previous top effect.
Customers can try it by tapping the Spider-Man icon in call or saying, “Alexa, make a call.”
