Mollie Anderson
Design × engineering × AI
I'm a product designer and engineer based in Los Angeles, with a background that runs from the photo labs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the engineering team of one of the leading AI developer platforms. I spent two years as senior executive assistant to the CEO of Weights & Biases, learning how fast-moving technical products get built and shipped, then completed a software engineering bootcamp and joined the team as an engineer, where I shipped frontend and backend features in production. Product design is where each of these threads converge: the visual instincts from my arts background, the systems thinking from operations, and the technical fluency from engineering. I'm excited about building delightful products and exploring the power of AI to enhance design workflows.
