Design AI

For product teams shipping faster than design can keep up.
Design systems. AI workflows. Agent products. Team workshops.

Services

If you're nodding at any of these

Engineers wait days for design to deliver a screen.

Two designers doing the work of ten.

Design is the bottleneck in every sprint.

Your team is nagged to use AI. Nobody's actually taught them how.

I've solved each of these.

Yours is next.

The services

Four things I do.

01

AI Design Operations

AI-assisted workflows so engineers self-serve from your design system. No designer bottleneck.

02

Design Systems

Production-grade systems with tokens wired to code. Governance and AI-readiness built in.

03

Product Design Leadership

Fractional senior leadership — strategy, hiring, reviews. Without the full-time Head-of-Design hire.

04

AI Agent Design

Design products where the primary user is an AI agent, not a human. Agent UX, oversight interfaces, and AI brand systems.

The engagement

How it actually runs.

01

Discovery

Team interviews, product + system audit. You leave with a diagnosis brief.

02

Shape

Scope locked. Skeleton ships fast. Regular demos.

03

Build

In-file pairing with your team. By the end, they own it.

04

Scale

Optional monthly retainer for strategy + ad-hoc advisory.
