Moonshot AI | KIMI
Product Design Intern
- Contributed to a major Kimi K3 release through product reviews, cross-platform experience iterations, and launch delivery. Helped build the iOS component library by using AI to inventory reusable components and identify required updates.
- Owned the product experience and interaction design for 2 of 6 membership monetization initiatives, translating business rules into user flows, page states, and exception handling in collaboration with product and engineering teams.
- Analyzed 500+ user survey responses and built an interactive dashboard to categorize feedback, identify recurring pain points, and inform product prioritization and design iterations.
- Conducted multi-round launch validation across up to 134 iOS screens, identified 150+ product and experience issues, and helped drive 63 fixes before release.
- Designed and built the core workflow of Figma Audit, an AI-assisted automated design QA skill that turns page-to-design comparison, issue detection, rule-based checks, and reporting into a repeatable process.
- Created and delivered the Android launch animation for Kimi, iterating visual assets and validating the final implementation.
