About
I’m a designer with a background in front-end development, UX, and user research. I’m most interested in work that sits inside complex systems — the kind where the interface is only one piece of a much bigger picture.
A lot of what draws me to design is figuring out how things actually work. Not just what shows up on the screen, but the constraints, people, and processes behind it. That’s probably why I’m drawn to systems-heavy work. I like finding ways to make complicated things feel clearer and easier to move through without pretending the complexity isn’t there.
How I Think About Design
I tend to approach design in a pretty practical way. I’m not that interested in making things look polished if they still don’t work well for the people using them. A lot of the systems I’ve worked on already had established patterns, dependencies, and operational realities built in, so the work was often about improving the experience without breaking what people already relied on.
That kind of problem-solving is what I enjoy most. I like working through messy constraints, understanding where the friction really is, and finding ways to make things feel more usable, more coherent, and more thought through.
Background
My background in front-end development has definitely shaped how I design. It made me more aware early on of how ideas actually get built, where things get harder in implementation, and how small design decisions can have bigger downstream effects.
Over time, UX and user research added another layer to that. They pushed me to think more carefully about behavior, context, and what people need at different points in a system. That combination still shapes how I work now.
AI Development and Consulting
My background in UX, service design, and front-end development naturally led into AI development and consulting. I’m especially interested in building assistants, structured workflows, and support tools that fit real services, real teams, and real operational constraints.
I tend to approach AI the same way I approach design: understand the workflow, define the guardrails, and build something useful enough to hold up in practice. What interests me most is not AI as hype, but AI applied well — in ways that improve decision-making, reduce friction, and support better systems.
Closing
This portfolio is still rooted in UX and service design, but it also reflects the AI systems I build and the consulting direction I’m developing alongside that work. I’m most interested in work that brings together design, workflow thinking, and technical problem-solving in a way that is useful, credible, and well grounded.
