I build AI-native creative organizations, products, and brand systems that ship faster.
What I'm looking for
At Cheil Worldwide, I direct a multidisciplinary design department for Samsung Electronics, combining creative direction, product UX, and AI systems architecture. I built production tools that cut routine asset resizing by about 70% and reduced launch-video timelines from roughly a month to days.
I architected an internal React, Tailwind, and Firebase task and capacity platform used daily by 30 staff and serving as the source of truth for a 120-person office. I also rebuilt a high-turnover department through psychological safety and operational clarity, achieving no departures over two years while increasing output 1.5–2×.
My work spans Samsung Live Pages, where I led a full redesign that drove 100k+ downloads, plus product and creative work for Picsart, Restream, Harman, JBL, AKG, and Harman Kardon. I translate complex products—from live-streaming and creator tools to Web3 and CBDC concepts—into accessible, cohesive experiences.
Grounded in psychology and film directing, I build visual systems, narratives, and AI-enabled workflows that give creative teams more time for craft.
