Agentic future of security reviews

As more security portals and tools entered the market, expectations had shifted. I led solo discovery, concepting, and design to deliver a validated interactive prototype illustrating the agentic tools needed, and how they could appear in the UI.

Key challenge: Meeting reviewers where they were, when our customers wanted to control presentation differently.

  • ✦Validated Interaction Paradigm
  • ✦1–2 hrs est. time saved per use

Private fund investing made simple

A FinTech startup had promised a Beta in three months, but had only done some initial concept research. I led 0→1 design end to end to engage, educate, and guide advisors through transactions in a way that matched how they think.

Key challenge: Maintaining an approachable entry point as internal experts pushed for ever more complexity.

  • ✦Secured (early) first-ever transactions
  • ✦On time launch in 3 months

Enterprise AI Answers Platform

AI source cleanup for enterprise

AI answer quality was clearly degrading as enterprise knowledge bases filled with duplicate and conflicting entries. After our PM departed, I led the team through discovery and concept exploration for a cleanup tool. I executed final design and guided engineers through implementation and tracking.

Key challenge: Maximizing speed and efficiency when customers weren't ready to trust automation.

  • ✦Organic Discovery & adoption
  • ✦Unsolicited Customer praise

Consumer Accounting Platform

QuickBooks data connections interface showing banking feed, duplicate alerts, and SmartCheck reconciliation tool.

No more accounting mistakes

QuickBooks had scaled by making their system for accounting seem more simple than it really was. I was tapped to lead an ambitious, multi-quarter initiative to add temporary guardrails and clean-up tools, and overhaul the core framing.

Key challenge: Getting alignment across departments and functions on major changes to high-visibility features.

  • ✦25% Reduced errors
  • ✦Multi-year Framework impact

Let's work together.

I'm open to lead IC and design leadership roles, especially with strong mission-oriented organizations where creativity and craft are core to the culture.
