What I'm looking for

I’m looking to design and ship AI-driven products end-to-end—pairing strong UX with practical coding, product strategy, and real usage metrics. I want teams that value iteration, clear storytelling, and engineering-focused, sprint-ready delivery.

I’m a product designer with a track record of shipped products, winning grants, and closed contracts for dense, data-driven experiences. I work across the full product arc—from research and scoping through design, implementation, and launch—and I use AI and vibe-coding tools as a core part of how I prototype and ship.

Most recently, I’m a Lead Product Designer at Citian, where I own product design for two AI-driven digital twin products. I’ve driven $10M+ in winning contracts with the City of LA, OregonDOT, and New Mexico DOT by owning product storytelling and demo assets (prototypes, decks, videos, and RFP submissions), and I designed, coded, and launched a public 311-style resident request portal while using Datadog dashboards and log analytics to monitor performance and guide iteration.

Earlier, I co-founded OpenSpaceSandbox, designing a collaborative community design app from concept to market and launching a Knight Foundation-supported youth co-design program at the Free Library of Philadelphia (scaling citywide in 2026). I’ve also operated as an embedded product strategist across 10+ ventures at PantheonNetwork, leading product strategy for Ella Surveys with Open Geospatial Consortium grants for Government of Canada applications, and I continue building as a design consultant for AI education and AI legal products.
