Designed a four-tool human-directed AI production pipeline for video content, sequenced, repeatable, and reusable across four content series. Result: 70% faster production and 30% higher engagement. The system defines decision points where human judgment is needed and where AI execution takes over.

Identified automation opportunities within studio operations, redesigned decision points and handoffs, and designed the human-in-the-loop layer where AI output needed judgment before proceeding. Reduced project cycle time by 35%.

Founder and sole designer of JointLift, a real-time social accountability platform built around lightweight co-work requests between trusted contacts. Designed the core interaction model and all product flows in Figma, then built it in React Native, Expo, TypeScript, and Supabase using Claude Code. Currently in user testing. A deliberate test of how far one designer can go end to end with current AI tooling.
