I’m a Product Designer specializing in AI-powered workflows and systems thinking. I help teams turn complex problems into clear, intuitive experiences — from 0→1 concepts to polished, shippable products.

⭐️ What I do best:
• Design AI/LLM workflow experiences (agentic flows, automation, human-in-the-loop)
• Build scalable interaction patterns & design systems that speed up shipping
• Partner closely with engineering to iterate fast, from prototypes to production

✍🏼 Recent work:
• Collaborated on AI-powered tools across consumer + B2B contexts
• Led end-to-end design across discovery → IA → interaction → visual → handoff

If you’re building AI products, workflow tools, or systems-heavy experiences, I’d love to connect.
