Jacie Littell
Product Designer
My mission is preserving usability while the ground shifts, particularly how people relate to content, information, and each other.
Curiosity engine
An AI reading tool designed to feel like a rabbit hole, not a search result.
A solo concept built to understand what UX looks like when the content is generative. The goal was to create output that makes the user want to keep reading, and interactions that never pull them out of it.
About me
My background is in speculative design, which trained me to think about implications before they become problems. That lens feels especially relevant now, as software becomes more personalized.
Before design I worked in hospitality and healthcare, which keeps me honest about how much a confusing moment cost. That shaped how I think about design. I care about how users interact with generative interfaces and what happens to workflows when AI changes the tools.
