Project 01
Research workspace for long-form synthesis
A dark proof surface for source analysis, drafting, and structured comparison designed to keep complex thinking legible.
Discuss project →I design intelligent product experiences that feel more like a trusted publication than a dashboard shouting for attention.
I'm a product designer focused on AI tools, knowledge interfaces, and premium product surfaces that need to feel trustworthy before they feel clever. I care about tone as much as layout: a great interface should help people think, not just click faster.
Over 8+ years in product design, I’ve led end-to-end work across brand systems, product UX, and editorialized landing experiences for teams building assistant workflows, writing tools, and developer-facing software.
My favorite projects balance softness with proof: calm reading surfaces, disciplined accent color, and moments where the actual product shows up with confidence instead of interruption.
Currently based in San Francisco. Open to senior product design roles and select consulting for AI-native products.

Discuss project →A structured content system for presenting capability tiers, usage context, and product trust without dashboard noise.
Discuss project →If you’re building an AI product, editorial workflow, or knowledge tool that needs a more human voice without losing technical credibility, I’d love to help.
