hi, i’m
Julie Ahn
I make complex systems feel simple.
Most things I work on start messy.
I like that part.
I remove what doesn’t need to be there.

“Outnumbered at home by two very opinionated personalities—both in charge.”
My daughter, (her Korean νλͺ , or baby nickname, meaning “baby chestnut”), and my Australian Shepherd, (walnut). Both in charge.
I’m a product designer at Apple, where I’ve spent the last four years turning messy, complex systems into things that feel simple (or at least like they should’ve always been that way). I care about clarity, flow, and the tiny details you only notice when they’re missing.
Most of the problems I work on start undefined and a little chaotic—that’s my favorite part. Outside of work, I’m usually being overruled by Bamtori and Hodu, who have very strong opinions and absolutely no interest in my design systems.
