I use AI to generate and cut concepts fast, build prototypes people can test, and draft copy I can judge against each product's tone.
Generate concepts fast and cut weak directions early.
Build near-functional prototypes that real people can test.
Draft and test microcopy and localized copy against each product's tone.
Test breakpoints and run accessibility checks before handoff.

Case StudyLaunched Alexa+ from zero, and separately owned 1-to-N product discovery on Amazon Shopping at $600M+ scale. Comfortable defining a new product and optimizing an existing one at massive scale.
Started as a software engineer building Bixby's NLP infrastructure for 200M+ users. That grounding means I design conversations knowing exactly what's technically feasible.
Secured buy-in from 5+ cross-functional teams on a brand-new design pattern, and presented directly to SVP-level stakeholders to move ambiguous, high-stakes bets forward.
Supported Sumo Logic’s growth from Series C through its $2B+ IPO and Amazon's generative AI bets from experiment to platform feature. Involved in building the roadmap, not just executing one.
I started as a software engineer at Samsung, building the NLP infrastructure behind Bixby. Since then I've worked across voice, generative AI, and shopping at Amazon.
I'm open to Staff and Principal design leadership roles in AI and eCommerce.
Ready to collaborate on your next AI product? I'd love to hear from you.
