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 with it in my own projects. I write honestly about what worked, what didn't, and how I got there.

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.
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.
My AI playground: small, fast builds, and what they teach me.
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.
