About Me

Systems first. Screens second.

Systems first. Screens second.

I design the workflows, systems, and pipelines that make AI-assisted production work at scale. Eight years across DreamWorks Animation and Amazon's Visual Innovation team taught me that the most critical design decisions never appear
on screen. I specialize in enterprise UX, workflow orchestration, and AI-assisted system design.
