Currently

Designing AI-native products with the Live Learn Innovate Foundation.

I design and build AI-native products where systems, data, and the user meet. Started in voice and natural-language systems, scaled into UX and product leadership, and now I'm back to hands-on building. Prototyping directly in code with AI as a design and development partner.

02 Skills

I design and build AI-native products at the intersection of systems, data, and user.

View résumé

  1. AI-Native Product Design

    Turning new AI capabilities into workflows that fit how people actually work. Systems that adapt and collaborate, not just respond.

    • Model-aware UX
    • Trust & explainability
    • Eval-driven design
    • Human-in-the-loop patterns
    • Recovery & confidence cues

  2. Rapid Prototyping (Code & AI-Assisted)

    Building interactive, production-connected experiences directly in code. The 'design file' is the codebase, and the AI is a collaborator inside it.

    • Claude Code
    • Cursor / Lovable / Bolt
    • Real-data prototypes
    • API-first iteration
    • Component-driven builds

  3. Systems Design & Information Architecture

    Designing systems, not screens. Connecting user actions, data, and AI-driven insights across complex, multi-surface platforms.

    • API-first design
    • Data modeling
    • Multi-surface coherence
    • Domain modeling
    • Service blueprints
    • Taxonomy & navigation

  4. Agentic Workflows & Interaction Design

    Designing for systems that reason, decide, and act, and giving users a way to stay in control of all three.

    • Agent loops & tool use
    • Conversational state
    • Authority gradients
    • Source grounding & review
    • Multi-agent UX

  5. Product Strategy & Execution

    Taking ambiguous product space and shipping coherent experiences out the other end. Worked across product, engineering, and business on platforms serving tens of millions of users.

    • Vision & roadmapping
    • Cross-functional leadership
    • Metric definition
    • Iteration cadence
    • Stakeholder alignment
03 Projects

Selected work across websites, mobile apps, voice interfaces, and BI dashboards.

Product and User Experience Design Leader.

View résumé

I design and build AI-native products where systems, data, and the user meet. Today that work runs through the Live Learn Innovate Foundation, CrimCaseAI, and Todaiyo, applying 25 years of craft to missions where the next user interaction is half UI, half model.

I started in voice and natural-language systems. That was an early foundation in designing how humans interact with intelligent machines. Over time I scaled that into UX and product leadership, including UX for a $1.2B business unit administering 75M+ shareholder records a year.

More recently I've moved back to hands-on building. I prototype directly in code with AI-assisted environments like Claude Code, Lovable, and Bolt, and I've helped teams shift out of traditional design tools and into code-first workflows. Faster iteration, tighter collaboration with engineering, and more meaningful validation earlier in the product lifecycle.

  1. Development

    I began my career as a developer, spending the first 10 years building Voice User Interface (VUI) applications. That foundation is why I still work close to the code: design decisions and implementation decisions sharpen each other.

  2. Design

    I'm passionate about design and committed to lifelong learning. Professionally, I have extensive experience designing user interfaces across customer channels.

  3. Leadership

    I lead design teams that include VUI and UI/UX designers, researchers, BAs, and front-end developers. With years of hands-on experience in both design and development, I lead with empathy and understanding.

  4. Consulting

    I began as a consultant for Chubb, placed at FCTC in Jersey City, NJ. At Computershare, I've consulted extensively across business lines without dedicated UX departments.
