Profile: https://flows.cv/ruchikakankaria

I’m a product designer at Amazon, focused on crafting intuitive, accessible, and meaningful digital experiences. With an engineering background, I specialize in untangling ambiguity within complex, data-heavy ecosystems, translating technical constraints into clear, human-centered solutions.

I work closely with product and engineering partners to shape experiences from early concept through execution, using systems thinking, research and iteration to drive impact at scale.

Lately, I’m exploring the intersection of human intent and Artificial Intelligence - thinking beyond standard patterns to design smarter, more adaptive interfaces where AI acts as a force multiplier for user experience.
