EXPERTISE · STAFF / PRINCIPAL SCOPE

Product Systems Designer & Creative Technologist

I design product systems for consequential choices. My work turns ambiguous human, cultural, and organizational signals into AI-native products, decision tools, and cross-device experiences that help people see clearly enough to choose well.

For 20+ years, I have led zero-to-one platforms, design languages, interaction systems, and creative technology across Amazon, commerce, entertainment, and independent ventures. I work hands-on where needed, set product and visual direction, prototype emerging ideas into tangible systems, and help cross-functional teams move from ambiguity to an experience they can ship, govern, and extend.

Designed the show format, persistent hosts, virtual studio, voice and performance workflow, app-media tooling, and creative QA system, including configurable UI-free map captures that allow live product intelligence to become editorial evidence inside each episode.
