Building in the Age of AI

Building in the Age of AI

These two projects represent something more than side work. They are a deliberate attempt to understand what product design looks like when the execution barrier is removed.


SteadyState and Nomadist were built without engineering teams, without sprints, and without handoffs. Each one went from concept to live product in under three weeks. What made that possible was not only the AI; it was having twenty years of product design and UX experience to direct it. The AI generated the code. As the designer I decided what to build, why it mattered, and when the output wasn't good enough.


That distinction is the point. As AI compresses the distance between idea and product, the highest-leverage skill in any team is no longer the ability to execute; rather it is the judgment to know what is worth executing.

Born and raised in Denver, I’m a proud graduate of the University of Colorado, Denver, with 20+ years in the design world. My passion for design started early, creating digital experiences for leading corporate and consumer brands. I’ve seen UX design evolve into the essential discipline it is today and remain dedicated to using thoughtful, user-centered processes to build impactful solutions

I’m a lifelong learner with a healthy dose of curiosity. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me behind a camera, in the garden, or experimenting with a new recipe. I hold strong opinions on craft, but I’m always open to a better idea.
