Bring AI Into Your Design Process, Without Losing the Craft
Over the past year, I rebuilt my own design process from the ground up, moving off Figma and into AI-assisted tools. I recognized the value of moving faster, and figured out how to do it without losing what makes a quality design experience. Every designer's process looks different, so this is an open conversation. I'll share my experience as a starting point, but your own process is the real subject, we'll figure out together what's worth adopting for you. What we'll cover: • A quick read on where you're at now, and what's slowing you down • My honest take on where AI helps, and where it gets in the way • A walkthrough of my design process, how I use AI day to day, and why • A look at your own process to see where AI could realistically help
What's included
I love to help out, that's what this is really about for me. Design roles are shifting fast with AI, and I've spent the past year figuring out what that actually looks like. I want other designers to move through it with more clarity. Expect honest, direct feedback, always with your goals in mind. I'd rather show you something real than talk in the abstract. We'll spend more time on actual examples and your own process than theory.

Product Design Coach: Career Growth, Craft, and Designing with AI
I've spent 10+ years as a product designer, working across Microsoft (Fabric), Silo, Boulevard, Toast, and Mindbody, on everything from enterprise data tools to consumer scheduling products. These days I run my own design consultancy, working with early-stage teams as both a hands-on designer and a strategic partner. I like staying close to the actual product, not just the process around it. If you're trying to get your portfolio noticed, prep for an interview, figure out your next career move, or think through how to bring AI into your design process, I'd love to help.
