Chevis Zhou is a product design engineer. He builds delivery systems and ships the interfaces they produce.
AethrDesign: TasteLed turns a client brief into a website ready for review.
I turned the web design process behind nineteen client sites into TasteLed, a product that takes a brief to a website ready for approval. I designed how it directs AI: what intake asks, the specification a model builds from, and the checks a build must pass. The same habits carry into my embedded work at Arca Wealth.
Treevah: Cloud file navigation shaped by testing, and the design operation that carried it to release.
Treevah wanted the power of filters with the familiarity of folders. I worked through that tension in its cloud file manager, from a carousel that proved hard to learn to the tabbed navigation that shipped. I also led the design-system team and established the handoff that carried those decisions into engineering.
Solara: Developer documentation made coherent by one visual system, from page layout to component spec.
Solara lets developers build web apps in Python. As its product team’s sole designer, I led the visual design of its documentation and the system underneath it, so functions are easier to find and code easier to evaluate. A 100+ component Figma library, with clear rules for which files were ready to build, gave engineering one consistent reference.
GMU: An eye-tracking pilot tracing the reading problems magnification left unresolved.
For my M.A. capstone at George Mason, I investigated whether a magnifier could compensate for an inaccessible page layout. I ran sessions with three students under simulated low vision, combining task performance with their comments and eye-tracking recordings. The comparison showed where low contrast, small text and silent menus stopped readers, and how they worked around them.
