Caitlin Atteberry

Good judgment at the speed of AI.

An AI-native product designer turning ambiguity into clear, intuitive products, with sound judgment and a bias toward shipping.

Experiments

Small builds and tests, mostly about where AI is and isn't useful in a design workflow. Shorter than the case studies, and deliberately honest about what did not work.

Wonderschool. August 2026

Canny to PR

A Claude skill reads the provider request board, picks something safe and small, and opens a pull request. One run, end to end, including what it refused.

Outcome: 34 requests triaged, 6 routed to a human, 1 shipped as a draft PR.

What it's like to work with me

"Caitlin builds. She'll put together an AI-assisted prototype that isn't a throwaway mockup: it's real, clickable, and shippable, built on the very design system she created, so it's essentially the frontend already done. That one shift fixed a problem I'd basically accepted as permanent."

Ailin Guo
Product Manager, Wonderschool
"She's a designer, but that barely covers it. On any given week she's doing the work of a product manager, a UX researcher, a prototyper, and honestly a part-time engineer, and she's the person quietly connecting the dots between teams so nothing falls through the cracks."

"I have worked with Caitlin across multiple roles and would gladly work with her again in any organization. She is a well-rounded designer and a strong user advocate, with a proven ability to develop ideas from concept through execution and beyond."
