LEARNINGS
Sole Designer = A Responsibility to Listen
Being the only designer was a superpower and a responsibility I fell in love with. Being right in the middle of product and engineering, I led by listening, pushing ideas and owning design decisions. As the only designer on the team, I learned how to "speak engineer", bridge ideas, and make choices that balanced quick needs with long-term impact. Working across teams enabled me to push ideas and most importantly handle pushback.
Thriving in Complexity
From handling large databases to juggling multiple team projects, agility was key. Every day brought uncertainty, and navigating ambiguity became of second nature. Whether it meant speeding up to meet release deadlines or adapting when a project was scrapped due to shifting priorities, each challenge became an opportunity to problem-solve and innovate better.
Filter, Adapt, Deliver. Repeat.
To design a car, I had to know car. I quickly built an understanding in integrating OTA softwares and packages into an electric vehicle, where learning at speed was essential. By filtering information strategically, I stayed aligned with requirements, delivered high-quality solutions, and kept pace with Lucid’s fast-moving product lifecycle
