Experience

I’m Sonia, a Portland-based product designer focused on UI, visual design, and creating clear, simple, and expressive experiences.


Most recently, I worked with cross-functional teams at Soul Machines to shape the Digital Workforce platform. I translated abstract, technical capabilities into intuitive, configurable interfaces, while evolving the brand into a more cohesive and forward-looking expression.


Prior to that, I worked at Intel, contributing to platform-agnostic experiences across a wide range of devices - from autonomous vehicles to smart homes and mobile OSs - as part of their Open Source Technology group.


Earlier in my career, I collaborated with a mix of global organizations and agencies including LBi (Digitas), Saint (RKCR/Y&R), AKQA, Reuters, Time Out, UBS, PwC and more, working across industries such as media, finance, and publishing. This breadth informs my approach today: grounded in systems thinking, but driven by clarity, usability, and a strong point of view on visual craft.
