I help design teams
partner with AI.
Eleven years leading design for enterprise platforms and design systems, and now building software hands-on with AI agents. I write about what AI speeds up, what it can't replace, and how leaders make the shift work.
Selected work
Case studies on the problem, the decisions and the results, not screen galleries.

A community app for small churches that I design while AI coding agents write the code: the rules the agents follow, and what AI did and didn't speed up.

Nova design system
A retro-modern design system with four themes from one tokens file, and a rules file so AI coding agents build with it instead of inventing styles.

About
I'm a UX design manager who leads a team of designers and researchers.
Before that I designed training for T-Mobile's field technicians, from VR disaster scenarios to an AR prototype, led visual design at iSpot.tv, and created production art for the Magic: The Gathering website at Wizards of the Coast. I hold a BFA in graphic design and five ADDY awards from the American Advertising Federation.
Outside work I build my own products with AI agents doing the implementation, including ROAM, a walking game on the App Store. It's the most useful design education I've had in years.
