Senior Generative Designer building AI content systems—pipelines, tooling, and automation for scalable creative output.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Generative Designer who builds AI-powered content systems—the pipelines, tooling, and automation layers that turn creative work into scalable, repeatable output. I operate end-to-end, from architecture and infrastructure through to UX, tooling, and day-to-day production operations.
At Joi AI, I led generative and design operations for an AI companion app with 10M+ users. I established an advanced video generation pipeline that became a core content production system for the platform.
I’ve shipped production systems that deliver 1,000+ curated content units per week, cutting character preparation time from a full day to under 2 hours. I also helped eliminate ~80% of stock asset spend (30K+/yr) by replacing it with custom AI-generated content.
Across roles, I’ve combined generative AI (Stable Diffusion, LoRA, diffusion models) with automation (n8n, agentic workflows) and full-stack delivery (TypeScript, React, Python, Postgres). I also educate and upskill teams on AI generation techniques, workflows, and tooling so creative production becomes faster, smarter, and more consistent.
