How I work
I like the messy middle.
Not a handoff. I stay in the work: from the first fuzzy opportunity to the shipped product.

Strategy
Find the opportunity worth the effort.
02
Concept
Turn a vague idea into a point of view.
03
UX
Define the experience, flow by flow.
04
Visual
Give it a voice that’s unmistakably its own.
05
Prototype
Make it real enough to argue with.
06
Shipped
Stay with engineers until it’s in the world.

I don’t just use AI tools. I use them to explore what new products and creative workflows could look like.
