At Stir, I had the incredible opportunity to design a collaborative, infinite canvas-based operating system. It was a super meaty project and fully utilized my strengths as a systems thinker, allowing me to craft everything from the product architecture to the micro interactions and visual design aesthetic. I was fortunate to be able to lead the product from its earliest conceptual phase, navigating ambiguity, and distilling its core concepts to guide the team with clarity and vision.
