Designing a friend-first payments app with AI
Explored a simple idea, what if sending money felt more like chatting with friends?
Designed and prototyped PallyPay using Cursor and SwiftUI, focusing on quick, familiar interactions instead of complex flows.
Used AI to move from idea to a working prototype fast, testing how the experience feels, not just how it looks.
Still early, but a good step into building more human payment experiences.

Turning an idea into a working iOS prototype with AI
I wanted to see how far I could push AI tools beyond just design. So I took Littleseconds, a booking product for service businesses, and built a high fidelity iOS prototype in 2 weeks using Cursor and SwiftUI.
The goal was simple:Can I go from idea → flows → something that actually works on a device?
I started with Figma for the core user flows, then used Cursor to generate and refine SwiftUI code inside Xcode. Instead of static screens, I focused on building real interactions, calendar views, booking states, and navigation.
This was less about writing perfect code and more about testing how quickly I could bring a product idea to life.
Still early, but definitely promising.

I designed and built a concept prototype for a problem I keep hitting inside AI chat.
AI chat is modelled on SMS. Linear. One thread. Newest at the bottom.
But thinking isn't linear.
Two friction points that shouldn't exist:
You're mid-conversation and need to explore a different angle. Your only options are start over and lose context, or pollute the thread you're already in.
You organise chats by topic inside a project. But when you're on chat 15 and need to follow up on something from chat 5, there's no cross-reference. You end up asking the model if it remembers, which is not a UX.
Threaded conversations inside AI chat.
A thread branches from any message. It carries the context of that moment as its anchor. The main conversation stays intact. The model gets a focused, bounded context window, less noise, sharper answers.

Spent a weekend prototyping a custom card design flow for a fintech app. Not Figma frames, actual SwiftUI screens running on device.
The designer picks their card theme, uploads a photo, chooses where the details sit (front or back face), and confirms. The card responds to gyroscope tilt in real time. Scrub the spending chart and the number morphs with a haptic tick on each data point. Confetti on order confirm.
This is the workflow I'm bringing to teams, concept to tappable prototype in days, not sprints. Not something to hand off to developers to interpret. Something you can feel.
AI native designer available for fintech, product and interaction work. DMs open.
