About

A bit about me

Annahi Paez

Product designer who thinks beyond the happy path

I approach design with empathy because when we don't solve the problem, people continue to struggle. That belief drives my work. I build products that genuinely help, not just look good.

At UC Irvine, I learned that every product has a story long before it reaches your phone. Research, constraints, trade-offs, and edge cases all shape the experience. Today, I'm writing those stories at pºMotion, designing for athletes who need to understand injury risk without a PhD in biomechanics. I translate complex data into clear, actionable insights.

As a UX/Product Designer, I guide products from concept through QA. I care as much about edge cases as the happy path because real users do not move through flows perfectly. I collaborate closely with engineers, ask hard questions early, and design with empathy grounded in systems thinking.

LA native. Fisherwoman. Dog owner. Former pizza entrepreneur (yes really). Always learning, sometimes afraid to fail, but always willing to try.
