I'm Whitney Spiva. I'm a product designer drawn to conversational AI, design systems, and the small decisions that shape how people experience software. I spent 8 years at The Home Depot thinking about these things. Before that, VML and Turner.

I started this site because I wanted a place to work through ideas in the open. Some are about design, some are about everything else that feeds into it.

Elsewhere: Portfolio, LinkedIn, Are.na
