About

I build design orgs and ship product, from concept to production code. Most recently as Head of Design at io.net, I built a 7-person international design org from scratch, leading product design across AI infrastructure, cloud compute, and agentic platforms through a $1.2B+ valuation. Previously: Capital One (750-person design org, fintech at scale), Telenav (automotive UX, co-inventor on US Patent Application 16/725,777), Plexable (co-founder, Jordan's first UX agency). I specialize in AI-native product design, agentic interfaces, human-in-the-loop systems, and design systems. I also build what I design: I work across the stack in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Python, and I've shipped two AI products of my own (Validata.so, Treegates.ai) alongside my design work.
