Loom AI Edit
A one-click flow that trims silence, adds chapters and writes the summary. Nine million videos edited in the first quarter.
Product design / AI / Motion
About
Eight years designing across fintech and creator tools, most recently leading design for Loom’s recording experience. I sketch in Figma, prototype in code, and cut my own launch videos. Off the clock I run a small newsletter about interface motion and coach a youth robotics team in Oakland.

Kind words
Maya is the rare designer who can argue the strategy in the morning and hand you a production-ready prototype by the afternoon. Our activation numbers speak for themselves.
She made our recording flow feel like magic. Customers literally email us about the animations.
Clear, kind, fast. Best freelance collaboration we’ve had.
