Collin Carnahan
Principal Product Designer
Ria was a wonderful partner who brought structure + momentum to complex, open-ended problems. She led UX and prompt design across several features for our AI experiences, facilitated stakeholder sessions that directly informed development. She also built working prototypes that helped us test ideas with customers and stakeholders before committing to a direction. I especially appreciated how collaborative & receptive to feedback she was. She quickly became a trusted partner across Product, Engineering, and Research, while also helping us strengthen our design practices at T-Mobile.

Ria has a deep interest in quickly learning and establishing new workflows contextual to the product and its ecosystem. I got to work with Ria on developing workflows and designing VUI for an employee safety mobility solution. Her iterative and exploratory design approaches leveraging AI, along with her ownership and dependability, helped in laying a good foundation to build on. She delivered the voice experience for key features along with a future roadmap for other features informed by insights from the field.
