AI Practice

The same shift reshaping design orgs at scale

I'm rebuilding my design workflow around AI at every stage, not bolting it onto the old process.

01 / Discover

Synthesize

Turning transcripts, notes, and stakeholder input into insight and personas in hours, not days.

02 / Ideate

Facilitate

Running workshops that go from sticky notes to structured maps, without losing the room's energy.

03 / Prototype

Build

Moving from concept to interactive, near-real prototypes before a single sprint is spent.

Operating Principles

How the work actually gets made

01

User-Centered Research

Workshops, interviews, surveys, and audits that surface real pain points before a single screen gets drawn.

02

Insight-Driven Design

Research becomes personas, journey maps, and prototypes — never a slide deck that sits unread.

03

Systems, Not Screens

Scalable design systems and interaction patterns that hold up under compliance, localization, and scale.

04

Iterative Validation

Usability testing and A/B experiments that keep refining a feature until it moves a real business number.
