Core Skills
Design
Designing for clarity in complex systems, utilizing rapid iteration with AI to create human-centered designs.
Research
Applying a data-driven approach to UX & Design research to validate features before they ship.
GTM
Bringing structured thinking to ambiguous problems, aligning cross-functional teams to build and launch intelligent, adaptable products.
Experience
- Conduct ongoing user workflow analysis to drive product decisions, translating user feedback and qualitative prompt data into intuitive, AI-powered features that feel native to a highly technical 3D platform.
- Act as the connector between customers, product, engineering, and GTM; testing early-stage features, surfacing bugs, and translating user feedback into relevant features and cohesive product marketing stories.
- Independently drove the 0-1 product development for a patented smart-home IoT ecosystem, personally executing all hardware and software product design, mobile UI design, brand identity, and Go-to-Market strategy.
- Leveraged pre-market validation studies to steer product development, bridging complex hardware constraints with intuitive interfaces resulting in a successful $55k Kickstarter launch.
- Delivered high impact marketing campaigns and design assets informed by customer feedback and insights gathered from hundreds 1:1 workflow demonstrations.
- Acted as a primary connector between early adopters and the product team, translating user insights and workflow roadblocks into actionable feature improvements.
- Designed complex, parameter-driven 3D models using Rhino and Grasshopper, rapidly iterating on architectural prototypes to balance technical constraints with creative design exploration in a fraction of the time.
- Researched internal firm workflows to identify friction points with computational tools, then translating those friction points into automated internal design tools and accessible training programs that drove firmwide adoption.
