At Sunshine, I lead UX for AI-powered tools that simplify digital life and enhance personal productivity. I returned to where my journey began as their Founding Designer, after helping launch Samsung's innovative S-Pen and Buds experiences at Unpacked 2024 in Paris.

My path through tech has been diverse and purposeful—from crafting healthcare experiences at Abbott Labs to reimagining automotive interfaces at CDK Global and developing career solutions at CareerBuilder. These experiences converged at Sunshine, where I now create meaningful connections between powerful AI technology and the people who use it every day.

Zaianne is an excellent designer who continuously pushes herself to learn new skills and stay ahead of industry trends. She has a versatile skill set, great work ethic, and a true passion for design. During my time working with Zaianne, she not only kept up with the latest design tools and trends but also kept our team informed with a constant stream of industry and technological insights. Most importantly, Zaianne was a pleasure to work with; she was always a humble, collaborative, and a thoughtful teammate.

Zaianne is a truly remarkable visual designer. With a discerning eye and a knack for playful sketches, she routinely takes work that is "vieux jeu" and elevates it to meritorious levels. Feeling at home in a contemporary style, she embodies a consumer mindset while always addressing the core business needs of the organization. I recommend her without hesitation.
