About03 / 05

Design Engineer.

Ten years of professional experience, the last five in digital product. My foundation is end-to-end product design: discovery, research, flows, prototyping, usability testing, design systems and metrics. AI sits on top of that foundation, not in place of it.

I don’t just use AI tools: I build the ones my team uses. Reusable skills, playbooks and prompts that turn good practice into capabilities the whole squad can reuse, always with a human in the loop.

That is what I call design2code: working prototypes and specs engineering uses directly. My engineering background holds this up, with systems thinking and comfort with real constraints. I work in the space where design and engineering happen at the same time.
