Learnings
Learnings
Storytelling matters as much as design.
Building Rewind wasn’t just about features; it was about crafting an experience that felt human — catching up, reconnecting, remembering.Collaboration speeds up creativity.
Working with teammates across design, research, and tech taught me to listen faster, ideate quicker, and compromise smarter.Good ideas come from user pain, not cool tech.
We didn’t start with "let’s use AI." We started with "people feel overwhelmed and disconnected." Technology only became the answer later.
