Hello

I'm Sonya,
Product Designer for XR, Spatial AI,
Mobile Apps and Emerging Interfaces

The Story

I design and build working prototypes where the physical and digital worlds meet across XR, wearables, AI, Mobile, Web and smart glasses.

My process combines design HCI, development and emerging technology to ship products that drive real business outcomes.

My roles change by project, but the through-line stays the same. Product thinking, interface craft, spatial prototyping and hands-on build.

I'm looking for a product design role in XR and wearables.
