AI is part of how I work.

I use it every day to research faster and prototype in real code, and I design AI features people can trust.

How do you actually use AI day to day?
Mostly to move faster through the slow middle of a project. It helps me tag interview transcripts and cluster themes, then I check every insight against the real quotes. I also use it to draft edge cases, error states and microcopy, so reviews focus on decisions.

About me

I get hooked on the question behind every product: why would someone use this, and what's stopping them?

I've spent 6+ years answering it as a lead designer and SaaS consultant on B2B and B2C products. I've led consulting projects, built and refreshed design systems for in-house teams, and used methods like usability testing, user research and eye tracking to ship desktop, mobile, TV and IoT products.

Now I'm Product Lead at Trusty. I love products, I love ideas, and I really enjoy a test session that proves me wrong.
