    There are a couple hundred senior ux designers at Amazon and are typically held in high regard. It's a wide band though with some outstanding people and some not-so-outstanding.

    As a visual designer Jenny Lam is alright, but that site she made for her own firm Jackson Fish Market is a joke. Go to Jacksonfish.com and then look at a detail page for one of the work projects. The description text is jammed into a small box that reveals two lines, and you have to click it before you can scroll through it. But hey, the stuff looks cool...and not sure why cool aesthetics matter in Devices, when the whole point is to use the device to watch or do something else.

    I came in at L7, and I'm perplexed by some of the leveling choices in the design org.

    • The cobbler's children don't have shoes. Jackson Fish was busy in its day and I doubt they had the time to continually polish their site.

      It looks like they put plenty of time into that site. Some basic things like ease of reading important content should be covered. They had time to build in some weird opposite-direction-parallax effect. Totally frivolous.

    Generally. It kinda depends on the group. Seems awareness of design has gone up but you'll still find teams with no designers so I think design hasn't been systemically integrated quite yet. The Devices team has a design studio and is led by Jenny Lam, who is well respected in the design community.
