Process:
same steps,
new tools

The process has been consistent for the last 20 years. What evolved are the tools around it: AI is now part of my everyday work, so I can go further and faster.

  1. 1

    Research and challenge

    I dig through data, research and past decisions in minutes, not days. That leaves more time for the questions that matter.

  2. 2

    Explore more ideas

    I explore more directions in less time. Then I bring the best ones to the team to shape them together.

  3. 3

    Prototype for real

    I build working prototypes, so we can try real interactions early and fail fast.

  4. 4

    Ship, test, improve

    Within my own skills, I open pull requests with AI support. Then I test with users and keep improving.

Experience:
from agencies
to product teams

I started as an art director in advertising, moved into UX at R⁠/⁠GA, and now design products at Automattic. Along the way, I've worked with WordPress.com, Nike, Dyson, Google and Samsung.

I am always
happy to talk
