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, have so much agency, and build what I envision.

But I also recognize that this new capability also asks us to have a stronger point of view and be able to discern quality faster. That is why I find it critical to expand my eye across different industries.

For exploratory challenges, I have felt that when I use AI too early in the process, it could impede on my brain’s ability to expand and question assumptions. On the other hand, for limited, bounded challenges, AI is incredible in offering alternatives, building the thing, and even correcting my mistakes. I’m still testing and playing with AI, and I’m excited to learn from other designers on how they’re using it.
