May – December 2025
Project Summary
In the summer of 2025, I joined AMD as a Product Design Intern contributing to one of the largest redesigns AMD Software had undertaken in recent years. My focus was reworking the Overlay View, a lightweight interface that sits on top of any application, designed for quick, in-session control. At the time, the overlay was limited to displaying system metrics. My role was to evolve it into something users could interact with and act through, without leaving whatever they were doing.
