Product Design Intern · Pendo (B2B SaaS product analytics) · Jun–Aug 2026 · Raleigh, NC

• Designed the reasoning-state motion system for Leo, Pendo’s AI agent, mapping 117 tool calls into three legible phases, then implemented it myself in production Vue, with tests and strings prepared for 7 locales. Case study.
• Built a generative identity system for Pendo’s AI agents: a deterministic engine producing 67,949 distinct on-brand orbs with status-through-motion states, merged into the product and handed to the brand team. Case study.
• Analyzed 9,000+ dashboard sessions and ran user tests to show catalog discoverability was not the real problem; the re-ranked plan became a roadmap epic scoped with PM and engineering. Case study.
• Designed a governed motion system with hard-blocking rules and tiered loaders, and ported its marks into Pendo’s Nova design system as pure-CSS components, now the default spinner. Case study.
• Built an agentic design-prototyping system in Claude Code, gated on WCAG AA and verified against the production design system; adopted into Pendo’s shared AI-tools repo. Case study.

Digital Design Intern · Nintendo of America · Jun–Aug 2025 · Redmond, WA

• Designed product detail pages for the five Nintendo Classic Controllers, all live on Nintendo.com, working within Nintendo’s brand system across a legacy product line. Case study.
• Audited Find Retailers, a store locator logging 70,000+ CTA clicks March to June 2025, across four regional sites, and redesigned it to current design-system and accessibility standards.
• Shipped WCAG improvements used site-wide, keyboard focus states and a motion-pause control, working directly with engineers and the design systems team.
