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.

Served as lead designer for a reusable Virtual Try-On interaction system, championing cross-organization buy-in across product categories. Led design-system syncs that translated teams’ existing customer experiences and leadership requirements into shared components and configurable properties while preserving category-level design autonomy. Partnered directly with UX Research to develop tests and prototypes; authored bottom-sheet state models and floating-action-bar concepts balancing camera immersion, control discoverability, and shopping actions. Designed shipped AR/VTO iconography, entry controls, and an in-camera Add to Cart flow; designed and launched 0-to-1 Virtual Try-On experiences for shoes and eyewear. Also unified Snap campaign work with AR patterns and contributed to broader immersive UX and digital-product improvements—initiatives where Amazon product management reported a 5% increase in Gen Z exposure (AR/Snap campaigns) and over $100M in associated revenue uplift as broader program-level business results rather than isolated VTO component metrics.

AGNC Studio

Founded an independent studio working across interactive brand systems, identity infrastructure, consumer products, media formats, and narrative IP.

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.

Earlier Foundation

Anthony's independent practice began in 2000 through self-directed web productions and community networks in the anime space. By 2004, he was operating at a professional level; his formal salaried design career began in 2007 as a Senior Web Designer at Original Marketing Group. That early foundation informs the creative direction, technical adaptability, community insight, and independent execution evident across the work above.
