Hi! I’m Terrie, a designer previously on the Human Interface team at Apple.
My work spans across the Apple ecosystem with Siri, from making machine algorithms feel more human to working on
UI layouts.
Outside of my creative life on the screen, I’m a floral artist and enjoy being inspired by fashion and interior design. I value curiosity and openness, and in both personal and work life, I tend to believe that everything is work-out-able.
I’ve never felt more capable as a designer than now. It’s incredible to move at this speed and have so much agency and build what I envision.
To balance this ability, it’s important for me to have at least a few clear directions before asking AI to generate options. I have felt that seeing outputs that look so realistic have at times hijacked my ability to think broader and test assumptions. Being able to question what I’m seeing has never been more important, and that’s also why I spend a significant amount of time being inspired by other forms of art and design to sharpen my eye and my gut. AI is my creative and build partner, but I also need to make sure I come to this partnership with clear insights.
