AI Interaction Designer. I solve the hard problems: black-box friction, confidence scoring, multi-output chaos.
The Designer
Visual Precision Meets Product Strategy
I started as a jewelry and fashion photographer, where success is measured in composition and light. That obsession with visual precision led me to Ralph Lauren, where I spent 2.5 years as a Digital Technician, acting as the brand's visual gatekeeper between Art Directors' creative vision and the technical demands of global production.
But while the studio ran on established systems, I kept seeing inefficiencies in our production cycles. I built custom JavaScript tools for daily workflows and researched emerging tech to keep us ahead. When I redesigned the logic of a core Ralph Lauren workflow, we increased seasonal production volume while cutting operational costs significantly. That's when it clicked: systemic design could solve massive business problems. I wanted to do more of that, but in a space that was being fundamentally redefined.
By late 2023, AI wasn't a buzzword for me anymore. It was clear that it would redefine how humans and computers interact, and I wanted to be there from the beginning. I started taking on AI product design work while still at Ralph Lauren, designing conversational interfaces and trust systems for early-stage startups. It was a deliberate stress test: could I actually make this transition?
By mid-2024, I had my answer. I left Ralph Lauren, completed Columbia's UX/UI certification to formalize my expertise, and committed full-time to AI product design. Since then, I've worked with startups building conversational AI for 50K+ educators, trust architectures for finance teams burned by black-box systems, and evaluated frontier models for leading AI labs to understand how AI behaves when it fails.
Here's what I've learned: the hardest problems in AI aren't about polish or features. They're about trust. How do you design systems users can rely on when AI can't promise certainty? How do you make black-box algorithms feel transparent? I've spent the last 18 months intentionally working across AI product categories to answer those questions. Now I'm looking for the right full-time opportunity to apply everything I've learned.
