Product Leadership · AI · Generative Interface Design
Product designer for the AI era.
I design, lead and ship AI-native products that turn complex probabilistic systems into intuitive tools and narratives. I combine technical depth (M.S. in AI & Design) with product strategy to build software that is intuitive, human, and commercially meaningful. In a world where execution is cheap, my expertise in matching business goals to product strategy sets me apart.

The MAIA Experience
Generative Voice & Audio
An intimate, 10‑minute encounter with MAIA — a real‑time AI character that sees, listens, and converses with visitors inside "Prof. Dupin’s study" as onboarding to a larger story world. Think AI meets Disney pre‑show experience - personalized for each guest.

FAIRYLAND
Multimodal Narrative System
A living storyworld that connects audiences across live performance, web, film, and AI‑driven character encounters so engagement continues before, during, and after the show.

ChalkNotes
Spatial Audio AR Platform
A mixed‑reality audio‑AR platform that lets creators drop stories onto real‑world maps and audiences discover them.

ESG Materiality App
B2B Data Visualization
A massive multi-featured business intelligence web app to capture, prioritize, and aggregate ESG topics for the Global 500, modeling enterprise value and environmental impact of today and trajectories over the next decade.
My Approach
Design used to be about screens.
Now it’s about behavior, systems, and decisions made by machines alongside humans.
We moved beyond static screens and into probabilistic systems.
I am a lead product designer with a master’s degree in artificial intelligence and design from NYU, and my work lives in that shift. 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.
My perspective is shaped by working across disciplines that are often siloed: design, product strategy, and applied AI. I’m comfortable discussing model capabilities and limitations with engineers, while translating those realities into interactions that feel clear, ethical, and useful to people. I don’t treat AI as a feature; to me, AI is a new design material. It is unpredictable and powerful, requiring a new set of best practices that blend engineering constraints with user psychology.
As a former founder, I also design for reality. I know that great tech dies without adoption. 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, leverage, and long-term value - building products that scale not just technically, but organizationally.
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.

Click. Hold. Drag.
Human-Centered First
Start from real people, not features. Prioritize clarity, control, and trust so products feel intuitive, respectful, and empowering.
Scalable Systems Design
Zoom out before zooming in. Map incentives, constraints, and feedback loops so solutions play nicely across the full ecosystem.
Outcome-Driven
Align craft to business and user outcomes. Ship lean experiments, measure impact, and iterate quickly without losing the story.
