Product Designer | Human-AI Interaction (HAI)
I design cognitive systems where humans and AI collaborate seamlessly. I leverage HAI research to solve critical bottlenecks and shape core interaction strategies for Enterprise and AI SaaS.
I translate complex ML constraints into intuitive Information Architecture (IA)—preventing errors and building user trust. I design participatory frameworks that empower users to co-create their environments, and deliver sustainable strategies so teams can easily own and iterate the product post-handoff.
In my free time, I’m out kayak fishing in the summer, or experimenting with new recipes in the winter.
