Hi, I’m Ayushi!
Lead Product Designer, Amazon Web Services
I architect human experiences at the intersection of AI capability and user trust - shaping how people interact with intelligent systems that are powerful, probabilistic, and often opaque; 12+ years of industry experience across design and engineering
I believe users shouldn't have to speak the language of the machine to get value from it. My process is research-led and AI-amplified - I build functional prototypes to test ideas before engineering begins, and use data to make sure every design decision moves the needle.
Outside of work I'm training Muay Thai, deep in a crochet project, or chasing the next travel adventure. I stay sharp by keeping up with HCI research, finding inspiration in unexpected places, and volunteering my design eye for grassroots projects I believe in.
