Product Designer & Design Engineer for the AI era.

My work starts with people and the systems around them.

I explore where technology can improve a workflow, reveal new information, or make an experience possible.

That can mean an enterprise interface, a locally hosted AI character, or a physical object in a live production.

I am a product designer and design engineer with an M.S. in Emerging Technologies from NYU Tandon, focused on AI and human-computer interaction. I’ve studied and built AI models, but more importantly, I’ve designed how people interact with these models: how intent is expressed, how trust is earned, and how complex systems remain digestible when intelligence is no longer deterministic.

As a founder and product leader, I consider technical feasibility, operating constraints, and adoption alongside the experience. I focus on reducing the cognitive load of professional tools and ensuring that innovation connects directly to business value. I care about craft, but I’m equally focused on adoption, measurable outcomes, and long-term value - building products that scale not just technically, but organizationally.

Innovation connects this work across industries. At TAU Innovations, field research in Southeast Asia and Africa explored productivity and item provenance across supply chains. At Ford, I helped grantmakers discover themes across institutional knowledge; at BSR, I led a team turning ESG research into an enterprise platform. Today, I connect sensors, software, and AI with live interaction at Storyverse. Across these settings, I look for new applications for technology, test what is feasible, and bring the right people together to make it work.

I’m looking for a team that understands the next generation of products won’t be defined by interfaces alone, but by how intelligently they respond, adapt, and earn trust over time. If you’re building toward that future, I’d love to be part of the conversation.
