Currently driving 0→1 development of agentic AI and AI-native products as a founding UX team member. I’ve worked across AI SaaS MVP → Beta → Production, covering the full funnel from awareness to retention, with a strong focus on growth and measurable outcomes.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭?
I’m a product researcher and designer who’s comfortable with numbers, a researcher who finds unconventional ways to uncover the why, and a storyteller who makes complex decisions feel intuitive and actionable.

I introduce AI workflows thoughtfully into product research and design, build processes from scratch in lean teams, and comfortably wear multiple hats. I’m confident in defining unique value propositions, product–market fit, and driving business KPIs and OKRs through research-led design decisions.

Previously, I built and scaled a business across 3 cities, delivering 60+ design projects under tight deadlines and achieving 54% YoY revenue growth.

## Work Experience
### AI Product Designer and Researcher @ Technology at Arizona State University
Jan 2024 – Present | Tempe, Arizona, United States
Leading product research and design for AI SaaS MVPs and growth initiatives, driving 0→1 decisions, usability-led insights, and UVP definition. Built the research function from scratch, introducing AI-driven workflows, iterative processes, and a centralized insights repository.

Key insights (e.g., 70% of users ignored 40% of features) informed prioritization and experience simplification.

Delivered measurable outcomes including 32% customer growth, scaling users from 5,000 → 25,000, 300% increase in feature adoption, improved task efficiency, and $3M in cost savings. Presented findings to key stakeholders, including OpenAI, and explored vibe coding and React components to accelerate feedback loops and production timelines.
