TONE DIAL
PRODUCT DESIGNER
JUNE 2024 

---

The Tone Dial is a simple feature that lets people adjust text tone by dragging along a tactile axis. It launched with Figma Slides at Config 2024 to help presenters shape how their ideas come across. We built it in a month with a small team. I led design and prototyping, working closely with engineering and UX writing.



The launch landed at the right moment admist the online Design discourse around AI abstractions. Joel Lewenstein (Head of Product Design at Anthropic) highlighted it in his Config 2025 talk as a strong example of real-time creative riffing.



This project moved fast, stayed focused, and had real creative energy behind it. It brought delight, solved a real problem, and helped shape how people think about interacting with AI. There’s more I would have loved to explore in this space, but I’m glad we got this out into the world.
