Quill
Quill is an AI writing assistant built for technical teams who need to turn rough notes into polished documentation.
I led the end-to-end product design, from the first prompt screen to the editing experience.

Design goals
Design an editor that feels like a collaborator rather than a tool, making AI suggestions easy to accept, edit, or ignore without breaking flow.
Problem
Generated drafts arrived as a wall of text with no way to tell which parts were safe to trust and which needed a second look.
Accepting or rejecting AI suggestions meant leaving the editor entirely, breaking concentration on every single edit.
Designing the prompt-to-draft flow
Users start from a short brief or a pasted transcript, and Quill streams the draft in visibly so it never feels like a black box producing a finished answer out of nowhere.
The editing experience
Inline suggestion chips let writers accept, tweak, or dismiss a change without leaving the sentence they’re reading, keeping editing closer to proofreading than to prompting.
Visual design
A quiet, paper-like canvas keeps focus on the writing itself, with AI-authored text set apart by a subtle tint rather than loud badges or color blocks.
