Who is Amy Jiménez Márquez?

Amy is a Design Director at Compass, a real estate technology company that’s on a mission to help everyone find their place in the world. 

Before Compass, Amy invested four an a half years at Amazon, most of which was as the UX Design Manager for Alexa’s personality. A role that would see her team launch adaptive personalities for celebrities, like Samuel L. Jackson, as well as the “Hey Disney!” assistant. 

What a job!

Prior to Alexa, Amy worked on the Amazon Flex design team, where she was the Senior UX Design Lead, helping to improve the delivery driver experience in what became a $20 billion plus global logistics platform.

A generous contributor to the global UX community, Amy is the Owner and Publisher of Boxes and Arrows, a thoughtful peer-written publication that’s devoted to provoking thinking and pushing limits when it comes to the practice, innovation, and discussion of design.
