The Abby Experience

Abby Salazar — Senior Product Designer · New York
about me

I design e-commerce experiences that turn browsers into buyers, and the foundation of that is trust. Trust sits at the center of everything I build, shaping every interface and interaction, even here. Let me show you how.(Psst — hover the beating to see why each part builds trust.)

  1. Then

    Design and dev used to live in separate worlds. I'd design in Figma, hand it off to build, then refine together, round after round. Rinse and repeat.

  2. Now

    Using tools like Claude, I can design and code myself, iterating faster on my own. I can hand dev build-ready code, lifting a huge load off their plate and cutting the process time in half.

  3. Next

    I pair AI with human-centered design, letting each make the other stronger, to craft products that are modern, simple, and useful. The result is work that's faster, sharper, and unmistakably trustworthy.

UX Research & Strategy

User research, interviews, and usability testing, plus journey maps and information architecture that ground design in real user needs.

02

Prototyping & AI Workflow

Rapid wireframing and prototyping, accelerated with AI tools and prompt refinement to iterate, test, and ship faster.

Connecting design to business strategy, optimizing systems, flows, and funnels with testing and metrics so the work drives real outcomes, not just good looks.
