Overview

When I joined Appwrite in 2022, we were about to launch the beta version of our Cloud console, a, well... cloud version of our self-hosted service that had attracted developers ranging from engineering students and hobbyists to experienced professionals.

As the company grew, we shifted focus towards professionals working on side projects and small development agencies, eventually expanding to larger enterprise customers.

My role

As one of two Product Designers at Appwrite, I worked closely with engineers, graphic designers, growth and marketing, and developer advocates to enhance the developer experience.

Throughout my time there, I contributed to two major console redesigns, continuously updating and documenting our design system to support the platform's evolution. I also owned research and design for several of our core services, including Functions, Storage, Support, and various features that were added around monetisation in the console.
