This summer, I worked as a Product Design Intern on Uber’s Base design system team, where I designed an AI-powered tool to streamline the icon request process.

Product teams at Uber often need new icons, but their requests are frequently vague or incomplete, leading to weeks of back-and-forth clarification with the Base team. My project aimed to solve this by introducing AI into the workflow, guiding requesters to provide better inputs, generating structured briefs, surfacing related icons for consistency, and even producing concept directions.

Over 6 weeks, I owned the end-to-end design process: mapping the workflow, defining guided inputs, designing the AI workspace, and running user testing. I partnered closely with a design engineer to shape the AI prompts and build a coded prototype that’s now being developed for internal use.
