boot sequence complete

Twenty-plus years at the seam between art and engineering.

I quit medical school to become a starving artist — and nearly starved to death. So I pivoted. What started as freelance design work became two decades of building interfaces, design systems, and now agentic AI pipelines that ship to production, not just to a deck.

Clarity from chaos, on purpose.

My background in medicine gives me an edge in healthcare UX, but I thrive anywhere that needs structure pulled out of a mess. I call my design style cozy minimalism: warm, clean, human-centered — with a phosphor-terminal streak I never quite grew out of.

AI has been a throughline in my work since my very first design job, building the application layer around an evolutionary-algorithm engine for Fortune 500 concept testing, long before "AI-native" was a category anyone hired for. For the last three years that thread has become the center of my practice rather than the edge of it — not a feature I bolt onto a project, but core material I design and build with directly. I architect agentic systems that generate, evaluate their own output, and know when to escalate to a human. I write the prompts and the pipeline code. I know the difference between a demo that impresses a room and a system that survives contact with production.

I'm at my best when someone hands me a whiteboard sketch of a hard problem and needs it turned into something a real team relies on by Monday morning.

Building an Agentic AI System for Asset Generation

Enterprise creative teams needed brand-safe assets at a volume no human review process could keep up with. I designed an agent-driven pipeline to generate, evaluate, and deliver creative assets autonomously — without losing the brand-safety net a human reviewer provides.

Architected a four-agent workflow (Watcher → Generator → Evaluator → Alert) that processes campaign briefs end to end
Built modular GenAI components for image generation, compliance enforcement, translation, and multi-ratio layout
Designed confidence-signal logic: only genuinely ambiguous output reaches a human reviewer

Result: a scalable, Firefly-ready pipeline producing brand-safe creative variants with minimal manual oversight.

Custom Generative AI Tool Suite

Creative, support, and strategy teams were stuck in manual content workflows with no shared system for brand-safe generation. I led UX and frontend build for an internal suite of branded GenAI tools, grounded in real internal documentation rather than generic model output.

Ran user discovery to prioritize real workflows over hypothetical ones
Grounded responses in internal tone guides, policy, and FAQs via Azure AI + SharePoint
Built prompt frameworks giving non-technical teams control over tone, structure, and intent

Result: adopted org-wide, saving an estimated $250K annually and cutting external vendor dependency by 75%.

Healthcare Quality Analytics Dashboard

Executive and care-coordinator audiences needed to make sense of dense quality metrics and discharge patterns without a data-science background standing between them and a decision.

Ran persona-based journey mapping and stakeholder interviews
Surfaced pain points in data comprehension through Miro workshops
Built D3 visualizations prioritizing clean hierarchy and accessibility

Result: faster, clearer decision-making from the C-suite down to care coordinators.

Hospital Patient Transition Platform

Discharge handoffs were failing on poor documentation and inaccessible plans, raising real readmission risk. I redesigned the workflow from the ground up, then built the design system that unified it across nine years and twelve products.

Conducted field research directly with discharge nurses and case managers
Pinpointed handoff errors caused by documentation gaps
Built situationally-aware UIs tuned for fast data entry on mobile and web
Developed a full enterprise design system spanning the entire product suite

Result: faster, safer handoffs with consistent experience across every surface.

Building the App Layer Around an Evolutionary Algorithm

Long before generative AI was a category anyone hired for, Affinnova was running Fortune 500 concept testing on a patented evolutionary algorithm. I didn't build the algorithm itself — I built everything around it: the tooling that assembled visual stimuli, fed real consumer preference back into the model generation over generation, and eventually let clients build their own test variants without waiting on our design team.

Built tooling that auto-assembled taglines, imagery, and packaging concepts into visual stimuli for large-scale online consumer testing
Fed preference signals back into the algorithm each generation, surfacing the strongest-performing combinations to Fortune 500 clients
Expanded the methodology over time into richer signal capture: click-based preference mapping, attribute-level rating, and eye-tracking
Designed and shipped a self-serve, Photoshop-style variant-building app that let clients construct their own test stimuli directly — my last and biggest project there

Result: the technology is now Nielsen Optimizer, still running concept tests for some of the world's largest brands.

Matchmaking Mobile App

Swipe-based dating apps were producing real fatigue and shallow matching. I designed a new take centered on personality over photos, with full-stack ownership from research through rollout.

Researched swipe fatigue to surface real emotional pain points
Designed a question-first matching flow to promote deeper discovery
Built the entire mobile experience with calming visuals and soft haptics

Result: a more human approach to dating, owned end to end from concept to rollout.
