Nice to meet you, I'm Maysnow

🛍️ I'm on the UX team at Zappos & Shopbop—Amazon's e-commerce fashion brands—owning both design systems alongside product work spanning compliance, checkout, and post-purchase experiences. I report to the UX director, partner with Product and Engineering leadership to shape our design direction, and I've led the team's shift toward AI-assisted design tooling.

👩🏻‍💻 Earlier, I spent 2.5+ years at AWS Fintech as the lead UX and sole designer for 4 web products in the financial planning/reporting space, owning the full-cycle UX process from discovery → delivery for initiatives supporting the AWS CFO and finance leadership. Before that, I worked on conversational web interfaces at ServiceNow, Zendesk, and UC San Diego's Design Lab.

🧠 I hold double degrees in Cognitive Science and Design from the University of California, Davis. My skill set spans research, synthesis, strategy, wireframing, prototyping, design systems, AI/Figma proficiency, and design operations.

My Process

Design approach

🔑 Empathy is key

Designs should reflect understanding of its users and utilize user research insights to address their needs and frustrations.

💭 Listen, communicate

Early and constant communication with cross-functional partners is necessary to gain a holistic understanding of the product.

🤖 Leverage AI and resources

AI is part of my everyday flow, not a separate step—I use it to lower the barrier to experimentation, testing more directions and prototyping ideas faster, while my own judgment stays in the driver's seat.

Guiding principles

📚 Learning is a lifelong journey

There's something to learn from everything, and growth will never stop so long as I hold this intrinsic desire to learn.

💪 Challenges build character

It's only in the face of adversity and change where I'm able to assess and strengthen myself to grow as a person.

🌅 This too shall pass

Endings are inevitable — power through hardships, cherish the good, and put my most into everything I do along the way.

Outside of work, I love to…
