Designing B2BAI experiencespeople can trust.

A Product Designer focused on enterprise CRM and agentic AI — turning ambiguous, systems-level problems into calm, legible product surfaces.

How I think about product design

Enterprise software is where most people spend their working hours — and most of it is hostile, cluttered, or quietly indifferent. My job is the opposite: to make the system legible, earn trust in the interface, and leave room for the human on the other side of it.

Principle 01

Transparency is the product

Especially with AI. Every agent action should leave a trace a human can review, override, or learn from.

Principle 02

Design the handoff, not the hero moment

The interesting surface isn't the AI doing its job — it's the moment it hands off to a person. That's where trust is built or lost.

Principle 03

Numbers are the brief

Response time, adoption, ticket volume — these aren't vanity metrics, they are the actual design spec.

Principle 04

Systems over screens

I work on the underlying model — objects, states, permissions, edge cases — before I touch a pixel.

03 · Experience

Five years of shipping enterprise software that actually gets used.
