About Me
With 15+ years of design experience, I've evolved from traditional visual design into someone who can both strategically plan and rapidly build functional products. My approach combines solid design thinking with modern development capabilities, using AI to augment rather than replace human creativity.
This year I've been training teams to use AI practically in their workflows while building rapid prototypes for businesses looking to validate ideas quickly. I can plan strategically, then build working applications with real APIs, authentication, and databases - making design decisions during development that most coders can't.
What excites me is helping teams move from concept to working product without getting stuck in endless planning cycles. I believe in learning by building and sharing knowledge openly. Whether it's training someone to use AI tools effectively or building a functional prototype in a week, I focus on practical outcomes that solve real problems.
What I Do Now
Strategic Design & Rapid Building
Combining 15+ years of design thinking with rapid prototyping capabilities. I plan strategically in Figma then build functional products using modern frameworks and AI-augmented development.
AI Training & Implementation
Teaching teams how to use AI practically in their workflows while helping businesses implement AI solutions that enhance productivity without replacing human creativity.
Functional Prototyping
Building working prototypes that help validate business ideas quickly. I can integrate APIs, authentication, databases, and real functionality - not just static designs.
Learning & Knowledge Sharing
Constantly learning new tools and technologies while sharing knowledge with others. I believe in building while learning and helping teams adopt modern development approaches.
