My approach

More than Human & AI
I Build Relevance

I believe the best design doesn't announce itself. It just feels right — like someone thought about you before you arrived. That's the standard I hold myself to: not "does this work?" but "does this feel like it was made for this exact audience?"

My experience designing and delivering lectures showed me that engagement is earned, never assumed. I studied my students the way a brand studies its market — their culture, their references, what made them light up or shut down. Then I designed around those findings, not the curriculum for its own sake.

That instinct is exactly what I bring to every UX problem: relentless curiosity about the person on the other side of the screen, and the creative conviction to meet them there. In the era of AI, that human layer isn't a soft skill — it's an irreplaceable asset.

Here's what that's looked like in practice.

The proof

Two projects.
Designed from the inside out.

Campaign
One Night Without a Home
"It wasn't an awareness campaign.
It was a designed experience."

Speaker panels, gallery walks, sleeping outside — every element built to close the distance between understanding homelessness and feeling it. We served chili. No seconds. Because that's the reality.

Project 1
Education
Teaching Algebra with Squid Game
"Students don't care about the line of best fit.
They care if Squid Game gets another season."

So I built the lesson around predicting exactly that — and they learned algebra without realizing it. One question they actually cared about. One lesson they didn't realize they were learning.

Project 2
Get close enough to the other person's reality that your design decisions stop being guesses.
"In UX, we call it user research."
Beyond the brief

Designing for people starts
with being one.
