AI ProductDesigner forComplex Systems

I make complex AI, data, and business workflows understandable and usable. In 16+ years of product design, I've worked across enterprise intelligence, accessible systems, and prototypes that reach production.

A PORTFOLIO OF PRODUCT SYSTEMS

How I turn complex systems into products people can trust.

These case studies cover AI intelligence, platform infrastructure, and data products—from early product definition through systems that now scale across Atlassian.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Design for
AI-driven products,
built to be used.

I'm a product designer focused on the messy, high-stakes surfaces of AI-native and enterprise software: pricing and metering, explainable intelligence, design systems, and the tooling teams use to ship. Sixteen-plus years across Atlassian, GitHub (Gitalytics), and Wizeline.

Accessibility isn't a checklist for me; it's a quality bar. I treat WCAG AA as the floor and design systems as the mechanism that makes good defaults unavoidable. Lately I've been building agentic design tooling — Figma MCP, Claude Code, Replit Agent Skills — to compress the distance between intent and shipped UI without losing human agency, review, or craft.

02.AAI PRODUCT DESIGN THESIS
INTERACTION CONTRACTS · HUMAN CONTROL

The hard part of AI product design is not only the model. It is the interaction contract: what the system knows, what it can explain, when it should act, when it should ask, and how people stay in control when software starts behaving less like a tool and more like a collaborator.

Let's build something worth using.

I'm especially interested in designing AI products that move people from intent to outcome while preserving agency, clarity, and trust.
