I design products
with AI &
bring them to life
Hi, I'm Sophia! I've been a Product Designer at Crazy Egg for nearly four years, working async on landing pages and app features alongside a fully distributed team spread across the world. I came to product design from architecture, swapping buildings for products people use every day.
I'm genuinely excited about designing with AI across my work, and building AI-native products of my own. I write honestly about what worked, what didn't, and how I got there.

Job Radar
Job Radar watches ~70 companies I chose by hand: a deliberate shortlist of places I'd actually want to work, not a giant job board. Each morning it surfaces only the new product-design roles. Claude reads and scores each role against my profile; the apply, needs a reason, or skip call follows rules I defined, with the reasoning kept alongside. One page, checked once, tells me where to spend my attention, so my time goes to what matters: sending convincing applications.
Every morning of my job search began the same way: opening the careers page of each company I most wanted to work for, in case a role had appeared overnight. An hour gone before the day had started; most of it to find the roles, let alone read them and work out whether I should apply. I built it end to end, directing Claude Code across the ATS integrations, the scoring, and the interface, and it's what I check first each day now.
Note: The companies are real. I've anonymized their names in this demo.
Ada
Ada is an accommodation search built on a simple premise: finding a place to stay shouldn't take hours. Instead of hundreds of listings to sift through, it returns five curated stays, each with a short reason it was picked. People can set filters such as interior style and Wi-Fi speed, write what they're looking for in a chat, or browse by aesthetic and mood. No account is needed to start; with one, Ada learns each person's taste over time.
I built Ada because I needed it. As a digital nomad, I have to find a new place to stay every few weeks, and the existing search is genuinely exhausting. After confirming through research that other travelers share the frustration, I took the idea from a written brief to a live, two-page marketing site prototype, directing AI tools.
Focus Forest
Focus Forest is an easy-to-use, jungle-themed mobile app that combines a calendar, to-do list, and countdown in one place. It helps people remember their schedule and events, and gives them a clear overview of what's ahead. Staying organized is rewarding: as people keep up with their plans, they level up and unlock new animals in an animated jungle.
Back in 2022, while switching from architecture into UX design, I researched and designed Focus Forest, taking it from surveys, user interviews, and competitive analysis through to wireframes and high-fidelity screens. In 2026, I came back to it with a fresh, AI-driven approach, rebuilding the original designs into a live, interactive prototype.

A day on the J train
An animated ride down my favorite NYC subway line, with a personal recommendation at every stop. An attempt to turn a real journey and its emotions into something digital.
Learned: Claude Artifacts got an interactive build going incredibly fast, but I could only get the animation working properly after rebuilding it in Claude Code.
