Rikki Teeters

Rikki Teeters is a Senior UX Designer at Amazon on the Manager Experience team, where her work shapes the tools managers rely on every day. In nearly eight years at the company, she has designed for Prime Video, Amazon Explore, Whole Foods, Sponsored Ads, and People Experience. Over fifteen years in the field, one conviction has held: design is a moral practice, and its measure is empathy, dignity, and human flourishing. She is the writer of Conscious UX: Leading Human-Centered Design in the Age of AI, a framework drawn from more than 130 interviews across six continents. She makes the case for intelligence augmentation over replacement, and for designers who refuse to disappear from the ethical center of their craft. Rikki lives in Seattle with her husband, two dogs, and a senior cat.
