Summary
Anastasia Lewis is a multidisciplinary design engineer and practitioner who blends product strategy, UX research, and experimental body arts to shape novel human–technology interfaces. With a decade of experience across startups, creative tech, and community-building, she designs and ships accessible interfaces for AI, crypto, and consumer apps while also creating dermal interfaces, cyborg nail enhancements, and paramedical tattooing through her studio practice. Her background includes hands-on frontend engineering with React/React Native and prototyping in SwiftUI, Go, and Rust from intensive work at Recurse Center and early-stage product roles. She has led rapid-growth community projects, taught beginner programmers, and translated user research into product decisions that improved retention and localization. Based in South Pasadena and trained at UCLA DMA, she often bridges cultural storytelling with technical systems—turning editorial insight and design research into workable product roadmaps. Unexpectedly, she pairs clinical EMT training and nutraceutical experiments with high-concept wearable aesthetics, reflecting a curious, cross-disciplinary approach to design and care.
