UX/UI Researcher & Designer
I design from evidence & move faster with AI
See the work. Steal the workflow.
Case Studies
Each project here started with a domain I didn't fully know. The research approach was shaped by whatever access the project allowed.
Ambetronics Flame Sensor App
Learn how I worked through an unfamiliar technical domain
MAW’s Lottery Reconciliation System
Designed from store visits, interviews, & workflow mapping.
Designing for Trust
Built the evidence base for a winning RFP without user access.
AI Workflows
Two articles on how AI fits into my day-to-day work: where it earns its place in the workflow and where I deliberately keep it out.
How I Use AI for UX/UI Research and Design
Where AI helps and where I deliberately don't use it.
Rapid Prototyping with Figma MCP and AI
Figma frames to an interactive, session-ready prototype.
Selected Work
Earlier projects that shaped how I think about design, from workplace research to product critiques to visual work across different media.
Winix Filter Replacement Flow
Learn how a simple maintenance task became a trust problem.
Research-Led Workplace Design
Mapped employee behavior to translate needs into space.
Design Across Screens and Spaces
Selected work across UI design, visual identity & 3D visualization.
The Backstory
I started out as an architect. Architecture trained me to think in systems: structure, materials, services, constraints, the people who build and the people who use. That end-to-end thinking never left me, and it shapes how I approach every design problem today.
When I moved into UX/UI, I noticed a gap quickly. I could design interfaces, but I didn't fully understand what happened after handoff. Developers pushed back and things got lost in translation. So I went back to school, studied computer science, and built enough of an engineering foundation to close that gap.
Over the next 12 to 18 months I'm working toward becoming a full-stack designer, someone who can take a problem from research through design through to working code. I think that's where the field is headed, and it's the kind of work that keeps me genuinely interested.
I'm looking for a full-time UX/UI role where the problems are real, the domain is unfamiliar, and there's room to go deep.
Sincerely,
