Featured Work
Gym Routine Tracker
What started as a simple ask — "build me a beginner workout routine" — turned into something I didn't expect: a working, pinnable digital tracker that actually changed how I thought about AI as a design tool. This is an ongoing personal project exploring how fast you can go from idea to usable product when AI is your collaborator.

AI-Assisted Disability Claims Modernization
Adjudicators spent hours manually cross-referencing medical records, policy law, and thick manuals just to land on a single disability rating, then checked their work again, because one mistake meant a performance hit.

Automated Claim Return
When a claim was sent back to previous step as incomplete, the adjudicator sending got no productivity credit for handling it, plus had to manually re-enter information into oversized legacy forms just to process that return.

Where do you appreciate design that others might miss?
A well designed kitchen, with function and aethetics fully intertwined is just *chef's kiss*
Where do you find ideas that have nothing to do with design?
Do you have a favorite piece of media right now?
What is the coolest place you've ever been?
