Request AccessActively exploring how AI
expands what's possible
in product design
Using AI to accelerate user research synthesis — surfacing patterns across qualitative data, interview transcripts, and usability sessions in a fraction of the time, without losing the nuance.
Integrating generative tools into early-stage ideation to explore a wider solution space before committing to direction — accelerating the path from rough concept to testable prototype.
Exploring how AI features can be designed responsibly into products — considering transparency, trust, and user control as core UX requirements, not afterthoughts.
Introducing AI tools into design workflows to reduce repetitive overhead, free designers for higher-order thinking, and help cross-functional teams align more quickly around user needs.
Simplify the complex — that's the whole job
Whether it's an enterprise platform or a patient portal, the work is always the same: take something hard and make it feel obvious. That's not just UX — that's product strategy.
Inclusion is a design requirement, not a feature
Designing for the edges improves the whole. Accessible, inclusive practice is built into the process from day one — not retrofitted after the fact.
Sharp pencils before sharp pixels
The most expensive design decisions happen on paper. Rigorous ideation before execution leads to sustainable, scalable outcomes.
Design leadership is people leadership
The best work comes from teams that are trusted, challenged, and given space to own their craft. My job is to build that environment and then get out of the way.
Design without business context is decoration
I work closely with product, engineering, and business leadership to ensure design is driving outcomes — not just delivering deliverables. User needs and business goals should be the same goal.
