Augmenting with AI

My Take on AI - I’m an optimistic sceptic

AI is the most significant lever we’ve ever held. I believe the real win isn't replacing talent; it’s empowering teams to move faster and think bigger. We are shifting from pushing pixels to directing visions, using AI to build interactive prototypes and synthesizing research in minutes. And with that power comes a massive responsibility to design with intention.


In this page is my take on the tools, the ethics, and the solutions shaping our future.

Some of my AI
work
Recent Experiments & Prototypes
AI Prototype - Case Study
Career Timeline Application
Gemini Canvas
Figma Make
An interactive resume application that gives a timeline view of the companies I have worked for, and major achievements that I have had through out my career. The app includes time and date zoom range sliders, filter toggles, search and a informative AI panel. Users can interact with it by date or by topic.
AI Prototype - Case Study
B2B eCommerce
Gemini Canvas
Figma Make
I set out to make the ultimate shopping experience that is optimized for the most demanding B2B purchasing experiences. Facet filters, easy read comparisons, bulk ordering, request quote, flexible purchase types and a idea that I have been working on since 1999, a cart product distribution option. The experience feels so easy that it begs the question, can regular consumer shopping be this good?

A common tension many creatives feel right now is a shift from viewing AI as a "competitor" to seeing it as a "collaborator. The same is true when using AI to help produce music.
This is one of my favorite things to do with AI and it has helped me revive a life long dream. I have written an article about my journey, my emotional struggles, and what it took to convince me this technology is such a gift

I’ve built an incredible team of virtual agents that handle the repetitive daily tasks that used to consume hours of my time. Using tools like Claude Cowork, I automate workflows seamlessly across my laptop, the web, and apps like Notion, Gmail, and Figma. I also leverage Claude Code to rapidly build interactive prototypes.

Productivity and Automation
Notion
My favorite productivity app Notion stands out for its powerful AI features. It lets you personalize each AI agent and assign them specific tasks. And one feature that stands out is the ability to ask AI to create anything for you that you can do manually. I often use this feature to create my databases.
