I use AI to explore directions, synthesize information, compare options, and get to working prototypes faster. I also use it to improve the workflow around the task, with design-system rules and human review points that keep quality and judgment in the loop.
The financial review workflow shows how I use AI to explore and prototype a high-stakes product workflow. A second experiment uses Cursor to test how an AI coding agent behaves inside a Claude-created design system with product rules and automated checks.

Defined a longitudinal learner experience across 37+ systems and 5+ product lines.
Led UX strategy and cross-product alignment, shifting roadmaps toward a more continuous learner experience.

A 100+ product audit showed the PDP redesign depended on the product model and variation system.
Authored the rules, aligned Hy-Vee with ProdX on two API changes, and helped move Similar Items conversion from 0.82% to 1.49%.

As Founding Product Design Lead and the sole designer in year one, I defined the 0→1 collaboration model for complex 3D work.
Designed around CAD, security, performance, and research-access constraints. I also implemented React/CSS changes in the product repository.

I do my best work on products with complex rules, competing constraints, and decisions that need careful judgment.I work closely with product, engineering, and leadership to get the goal and tradeoffs clear and help the team move.
I help teams get aligned on how the product needs to work. That usually means making constraints and tradeoffs clear early so the team can move with fewer surprises later.
I focus on the interaction model underneath the screens: states, rules, flows, and what happens when the happy path breaks.
I’m strongest at making sense of research, analytics, and stakeholder input that point in different directions, then helping the team decide what to do next.
I’ve spent most of my career working on complex products across design, research, and leadership. I care about clear thinking, useful outcomes, and work teams can maintain.
Designed in Figma and built in Webflow. I used Claude, v0, and ChatGPT for exploration, synthesis, drafting, and testing; I made the design, content, and product decisions.
