Julia Beitel
AI Product Manager / Creative Technologist
I design and build human-centered AI product experiences by combining design strategy, research, and technical prototyping. I care most about products that make complex technology intuitive, useful, and ethical in real-world contexts. I am passionate about identifying where AI can create real user value and translating that value into product direction and prototypes.
I am currently completing my M.S. in Design Technology at Cornell University. I graduated from Cornell in 2024 with a B.A. in Information Science and a minor in Environment & Sustainability, where I was a Milstein Program Scholar.

Reef Project
→I led the design of a transformable reef restoration module that reduces transportation and deployment friction for underwater structures. By combining origami-inspired mechanics with engineering constraints, I developed a compact system that expands into a stable in-water structure.
AirBend
→I designed a passive-cooling wearable that uses body movement to improve thermal comfort without continuous power draw. I applied computational optimization to both pattern generation and placement across body heat zones to balance airflow, comfort, and wearability.
HomeGreens
→I built an AI-powered gardening platform that uses AR scanning and local climate data to guide both beginner and experienced gardeners. The product combines personalized recommendations, care reminders, and a community marketplace to make growing food more accessible and collaborative.
