What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build AI-integrated digital products where I can own the journey from product strategy and Figma prototypes to functional, deployed applications.

I've designed and built AI-integrated products including Distill Engine, an audio-to-article platform launched to live users, Isang AI, a generative travel companion, and Lstnr, a mobile entertainment prediction app.

At Ping / GamicHQ, I owned product design across onboarding, community, engagement, wallet, and transaction workflows during a growth phase that reached 300,000+ users in its first week. I built reusable cross-platform design patterns that improved interface consistency by 30%, while research-led iteration contributed to 20% higher retention and 18% lower onboarding drop-off.

Across Circo, Orcsys Studios, Bongalo, Jiggle, and independent consulting, I've translated complex business and user needs into workflows, prototypes, design systems, documentation, and implementation-ready interfaces across AI, SaaS, fintech, commerce, travel, and logistics.
