About

Rebecca Cioni

I'm a product designer based in Seattle with over a decade of experience across consumer apps, design systems, and generative AI.

I believe design is problem-solving, which means starting with problem definition by using data, research, and technical context to make sure we're solving the right thing before we solve anything.

I’ve always been a designer who codes: I started my career designing and building websites, and I still handwrite HTML/CSS.

My current focus is AI-native product design: designing and building the scalable patterns and systems that enable teams and agents to ship intentionally designed software.

Outside of work, you can find me trying a new Italian recipe, dining at Marination Ma Kai, or at the movies.
