Making complex workflows more intuitive and readable in Amazon SageMaker to help users move faster through visual clarity.
In 2022, I joined the SageMaker team in the Summer of 2022 as an UX intern where I owned two projects that simplified the user experience of the core interface. I worked on turning complex, powerful tools more intuitive, accessible, and efficient for the users.

CHALLENGE
Designing in a highly technical space with no prior knowledge.
I spent time self-researching and proactively reaching out to others to clarify ambiguous concepts. When working with engineering, I learned to grow a backbone to disagree with ideas that do not serve the user's best interest. Additionally, I learned the importance of driving the north star vision even amidst engineering constraints when considering the best user experience and the scalability of products.
IMPACT
Improved product's accessibility and ease of use through clear visual design.
I improved UI design of an existing feature through collaboration with engineering and PM which was launched in November of 2022 at AWS re: Invent! I established and designed a future experience in Sagemaker with interactive prototypes.
LEARNINGS
Takeaways shipping my first feature
Take full ownership: I had to proactively reach out for feedback during weekly design crits and led frequent design meetings with PM and engineering.
Be pragmatic with your time and priorities: Working in Amazon's fast-paced environment, I grew to efficiently manage my time and resources by being self-sufficient and reaching out about questions.
Be best buddies with your stakeholders: I understood the value of staying closely updated with stakeholders through clear and regular communication.
