Kristina Yermakovich
I'm a Principal Product Designer based in New York, currently shaping AI-driven experiences at Amazon. My work has spanned appliance shopping at Lowe’s, financial center experiences at Bank of America, multimodal conversational design for Alexa, and most recently making home security more intelligent on Ring.
My approach to design is shaped by a background in experimental art, academic research in clinical personality assessment, and an interest in non-linear forms of storytelling. Outside of work, I enjoy medium format photography, oil painting, sailing, and exploring the city with my husband Dmitriy and son Nikolay.
