What I do

What I Do

AI plus Human Designer Experience

Grounded in design experience, I use machines to accelerate my process, not takeover. This new world of vibcoding still needs human know-how to shape the results and I know how to do that.

Systems Thinking

Experience brings the ability to see connections others miss. We pull together product goals, audience desires, constraints, and realities to identify patterns and build structure. Our focus is scaling excellent outcomes.

Storytelling

Pull threads together to tell a compelling story of the product, effort and your business.

Design Process

I acclerate alongside you by facilitating design thinking - on teams and across roles. We embed and influence through action and confident expertise.

Launch Those Products

I know how to get a design to market; right connections, vigorous detail, and persistence.

Making work better, one app at a time. In this example, I’m collaborating with AI through a workflow I developed to turn a real problem into a useful, intelligent application. It’s an approach that combines human-centered design with the speed and capabilities of AI as a design and develop tool.

Personas

User Research

Presentations

Before defining a solution, I work to understand the real people who will use it—their goals, behaviors, frustrations, constraints, and the context in which they make decisions. Competitive research adds another layer of understanding by revealing established patterns, unmet needs, and opportunities to differentiate.

0 to launch is the main goal. The problems, when we dig deeper? We have ourselves a running analysis experience where people put their bodies on the line so they can learn how to run without injury, and they don’t trust science alone. Another problem? The largest commercial brand in the world is launching this altruistic analysis and truly wanting to help athletes. The company comes with a reputation of being fiercly commercial. How might we appeal to all types of runners, in order to expand the brand and successfully launch within a short timeframe?

AI

Making work better, one app at a time. I’ve spent more than 15 years designing better ways for people to get work done—and almost all of the products I’ve designed are still in use today.

In this example, I’m collaborating with AI through a workflow I developed to turn a real problem into a useful, intelligent application. It’s an approach that combines human-centered design with the speed and capabilities of AI as a design and develop tool.
