Harnessing the power of AI to design better tools for humans.
I’m a CT-based product designer with a proven history of upleveling design teams at startups. My method blends psychology, artistry, and AI to create scaleable, human-centered experiences—at lightning speeds.

The design system: an exercise in AI efficiency
Building a great design system is one thing. Implementing it without consuming endless man hours is entirely another. Here’s how I harnessed the power of Claude to build a code-side design system from Figma.
Presentation Skills
As the “pet extrovert” on many of the dev teams I’ve worked within, I’ve often found my niche as a communication skills sleeper cell.
Hack Week: JW Educate
At the time of winter Hack Week 2021, there were whispers that JW Player was in the conceptual stages of an e-learning platform. I really really really wanted to work on it so I flexed super hard in an effort to be the most obvious guy for the job.
PS: I WON despite not knowing how to code 🏆
Hack Week: Admin tool
The admin tool that JWP used to manage customer accounts was outdated and difficult to use. My friend (and front-end engineer extraordinaire) Pieter and I decided to use Hack Week as an opportunity to fix it.
Freddie Prinze Jr. received no compensation for this project.
