> Senior Product Designer | Platforms, AI & Learning Systems

Location: New York, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/binta

I’m currently a Senior Product Designer at Amplify Education, where I design tools for teachers and K–12 students on the Platform team. I’m drawn to work that blends learning, play, and systems thinking, whether that shows up as educational games, impactful feature enhancements, or AI-powered classroom tools.

Lately, I’ve been leading end-to-end design for things like classroom discussion tools, virtual tutoring, and integrations that help teachers meet students where they are. I work closely with product, engineering, data, and curriculum teams to turn complex, real-world classroom needs into clear, usable experiences that scale.

Outside of Amplify, I collaborate with early-stage startups (Trajectory, Clockout, Planscout, Cordifio, +), helping shape ideas into high-fidelity MVPs through concept sketches, wayfinding, and lots of thoughtful iteration.

In my free time, I design (and sometimes build) logic games, teach ceramics in Brooklyn, and spend as much time outside as possible. I care deeply about craft—digital and physical—and about making things that feel human, playful, and genuinely useful.
