scroll down — drop the needle
I design products at the seam where intent becomes interface — where a half‑formed idea has to choose what kind of system it wants to become. The interesting decisions live there. Pacing, posture, what shows up first, what stays hidden, what the model is allowed to assume.
AI didn’t shrink the design problem. It made the problem about judgment, not output. The work is choosing what to build and how it should behave in someone’s actual life — then shipping it before the moment passes.
I’m strongest where strategy, design, interaction behavior, and the realities of implementation collide. I write the prototype, ship the build, and stay around for the slow part where the thing has to be good for real users. Side A is the record of that, in five tracks. Side B is the lab — solo work shipped through AI‑Created. Both sides count.

Every engineer, PM, researcher, and designer who has shipped something with me. Every model that hallucinated something useful. The slow part of the work, where craft happens. The people who keep asking for one more iteration before launch.
