AI / ML

Shipped AI features people actually use.

I've designed 3 AI features from scratch — embedded with ML teams to translate model capabilities into interactions that feel trustworthy and intuitive.

Conversational AI tutoring feature for Numerade. Designed the full UX — prompt architecture, trust patterns, error states, and adaptive feedback loops with the ML team.

How I work with ML teams

I embed early — before the model is finalized — to shape how outputs get surfaced to users. I design for failure states, uncertainty, and trust from day one. Model capability defines the ceiling; UX defines whether anyone reaches it.

Writing on design, code, and craft.

Thoughts on native iOS design, building design systems, AI/ML UX, and what it means to ship work that actually matters.

Let's work together

Open to iOS, macOS,
and AI/ML design roles.

San Francisco preferred, remote considered — looking for teams that care about native quality and have hard problems worth solving.

I take on focused projects: launch-ready app design for small teams, and design-system handoffs that let you keep shipping without a full-time designer on staff.

A design-system engagement covers
  • Design Tokens

    Color, type, spacing, radii, motion — a single source of truth.

  • Core Utilities & Extensions

    Swift helpers, view modifiers, color and font extensions ready to drop in.

  • Reusable Components

    Buttons, cards, forms, navigation, alerts — every state covered.

  • Accessibility & Theming

    WCAG AA out of the box. Light/dark and Dynamic Type, day one.

  • Previews & Documentation

    SwiftUI previews plus an internal usage guide your team can hand off.

  • Final Deliverables

    Figma library + production-ready SwiftUI code, side by side.
