What I believe
Great design isn't about making things look good — it's about making businesses work better and people feel understood. Every pixel I place has a reason rooted in research, strategy, or empathy.
Currently at
Accenture — UX Engineering Specialist & Team Lead. Pioneering Agentic AI UX & enterprise design systems.
// 01 — AI in My Design Practice

I design
with AI
not just for it

AI isn't a buzzword in my process — it's a working tool. I use Claude, ChatGPT, and Figma Make in live workshops with business stakeholders to rapidly translate user stories into design concepts before a single frame is drawn. This bridges the gap between what the business thinks they need and what users actually need.

From designing how Agentic AI orchestration surfaces to users, to embedding AI-generated insights in enterprise dashboards — I make invisible AI logic visible, trustworthy, and human.

● Accenture — Agentic AI · CIE
Content Generator for Client Visits
Designed the UX for an Agentic AI model helping CALs auto-generate personalized content for client visits using visit details, themes, and client-specific insights.
Agent orchestration — how I made it visible:
Inputs: Visit Date · Client Profile · Theme · Key Topics
↓ Agent 1 — Context Analyzer: processes client history & account insights
↓ Agent 2 — Content Generator: creates talking points & slide structure
↓ Agent 3 — Theme Mapper: formats output per visit type
→ UI shows which agent is active, what it's processing, and when handoff occurs
● Accenture — SynOps 2.0
AI Companion & Insights in TL Dashboard
Designed the AI Companion flow — surfacing AI-generated insights, flagging operational anomalies, and guiding users through multi-module workflows in a contextual panel.
AI Insights UX patterns designed:
→ BAT Metrics: AI-flagged outliers highlighted contextually with explanations
→ Huddle & Debrief: AI-summarized action items surfaced inline
→ SDL Flow: AI recommends next steps based on pipeline state
→ Left Nav: adapts based on role, module, and AI signal priority
● Process — AI-Augmented Design Workflow
Using AI to Accelerate Requirement Translation
I use Claude and ChatGPT live during business workshops to convert raw requirements into structured UX concepts and user flows in real time. Figma Make then generates rapid visual concepts for immediate stakeholder feedback.
My workflow:
Business Requirement → Claude/ChatGPT for user story structuring
→ Multi-perspective brainstorming — AI challenges assumptions & surfaces blind spots
→ Edge case identification & persona mapping with AI
→ Figma Make for rapid visual concept generation
→ Stakeholder review loop → Figma hi-fi design

// 04 — Skills & Expertise

Not just
a designer.
A builder
of outcomes.

My skill set is a philosophy — a blend of business strategy, user empathy, design craft, and technical execution that turns complex challenges into solutions that scale. This multi-dimensional perspective is what enables me to lead design at the intersection of business, technology, and people.

My Design Philosophy
"Design is the clearest language business has to explain itself to people."
Every project starts with one question: what does this business actually need to achieve? From that anchor, I work backwards through user needs, technical constraints, and design craft to build something that delivers measurable, lasting value.
Trained in Solutioning for New Opportunities, I bring consulting-grade strategic thinking into every engagement — from requirement scoping to stakeholder buy-in to post-launch impact measurement.
