Rethinking Conversational AI

Designing conversational and intelligent systems across voice and physical interfaces

Alexa Skill Discovery


I studied Alexa’s skill discovery gap and identified breakdowns in dialogue and voice recommendations, then defined conversational patterns for contextual discovery.

Airbnb Voice Assistant


I designed a voice assistant for Airbnb hosts to streamline check in, answer guest questions, and support task completion through structured dialogue and service design.

Physical Motion in AI


I explored how physical motion shapes human assistant relationships, designing and prototyping an embodied intelligent personal assistant with interaction studies.

Beyond Conversational AI

Interaction design across digital, physical, and immersive systems

Car Model Page Redesign


I uncovered high drop-off on Cardekho’s mobile model overview page and redesigned the layout to better support user research and purchase decision flows.

Tangible Learning Interface


I created CoinBeam, a tangible system to help children with developmental challenges learn currency concepts through physical interaction and testing.

Immersive Relaxation Design


I designed a VR experience that simulates calming natural environments to help users de stress, validated through user testing.
