I build with AI, and I teach teams to use it responsibly.

I'm a UX/UI product designer who designs AI tools around the people who use them, runs them from first idea to launch, and helps teams understand where AI helps, where it fails, and what that means for the business.

AI Prompt Service

A chatbot that handles scheduling, rescheduling, cancellations and reporting. I planned and ran it in six phases, with stakeholder sign-off at each gate and a testing round on the proof of concept before full build.

Background

Where I come from

My career started in feature film editing and camera work and moved into product design and project leadership. That mix is why I care about how AI looks and feels to the people using it, not just how it's built.
