About

Foundations, then zero-to-one, then the biggest clients in the firm.

I learned craft in agencies, learned stakes as a startup's first designer, and learned scale on national healthcare and Fortune 100 accounts. The through-line is the same: walk into the ambiguity early, and leave with something people can hold.

Fifteen years, seven-million-user products, first-to-market AI and computer-vision work. Still happiest in the messy first three weeks.

How I work with AI

Prototypes in stakeholders' hands early enough to change the conversation.

Leverage, not shortcut. Everyone claims AI fluency now — these are the receipts.

The cycle

Leverage, not shortcut — the craft comes first, the AI makes it move faster

01 · Research & ideation

Understand the domain, the users, the workflow — before anything is built.

04 · Decide & refine

Alignment happens in the room; learnings feed the next cycle.

Working software changes the conversation.

Days per cycle

02 · AI-built prototype

Working software in days, not months — Cursor, Figma Make.

03 · In stakeholders' hands

They use the workflow live — they react to software, not descriptions.

Proven on: client alignment cut from 6+ months to 3 sessions · a $30M account turnaround · the fastest approval a major account had seen.
