I design products powered by AI — and use AI to design and ship them faster.
There's a lot to celebrate in this lesson. I looked at your 47-minute algebra lesson alongside your lesson plan · here's a snapshot of what stood out:

Selected Works
A few things I've designed, shipped, and learned from.
Insights Capture & Research Tool
Insight Capture
Eliminated custom dev requests by giving schools self-service authoring tools to build forms, collect data, and run their own reports.
Scalable Component Architecture
Design System
Eliminated visual drift across a contractor-heavy codebase — then used AI to transform design tokens into Storybook components directly.
Scheduling UX · Tutoring Platform
Parent Scheduling
Removed the phone-tag from tutoring bookings. Parents find availability, book sessions, and manage recurrence in one self-serve flow — no front office required.
About
Shaun Herron
Hey, I'm Shaun! I'm a designer with about 15 years in — mostly focused on design systems and AI-assisted workflows lately. I just wrapped up a stretch deep in EdTech, building tools for teachers, coaches, and school leaders, which I loved. Before that I shipped with teams at Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and others. Right now I'm looking for my next thing — ideally a team that really cares about craft and the people they're building for.
The Rigor of Craft
A validated framework for turning ambiguity into clear direction — now accelerated with AI at each step to move faster without lowering the bar.
Understand & Define
01 · Empathize
In-Depth Discovery
Stakeholder interviews and user shadowing to uncover the 'why' behind the friction points.
◆ AI-Assisted
Use Claude to transcribe and cluster themes across dozens of interviews in minutes.
02 · Define
Strategic Synthesis
Mapping user journeys and defining core success metrics for the design solution.
◆ AI-Assisted
LLMs distill raw research into tight problem statements and jobs-to-be-done hypotheses.
03 · Ideate
Rapid Iteration
Low-fidelity exploration to validate interaction models without high-fidelity distractions.
◆ AI-Assisted
Generate divergent solution concepts and edge cases to expand the solution space faster.
Build & Deliver
04 · Prototype
Living Systems
High-fidelity functional prototypes built with production-ready design tokens.
◆ AI-Assisted
Figma Make and Claude Code turn flows into coded prototypes in hours instead of days.
05 · Test
User Validation
Rigorous usability testing to ensure the interface meets cognitive and accessibility standards.
◆ AI-Assisted
AI summarizes usability recordings and surfaces behavior patterns across participants.
06 · Implement
Precision Handoff
Collaborating with engineering to ensure 1:1 fidelity from design to production.
◆ AI-Assisted
Generate component docs, acceptance criteria, and release notes from Figma and tokens.
