Designer · Design Engineer · AI Prototyper

A designer at the core — I lead experience architecture on Fortune 500 programs and pioneered an AI-assisted, prototype-first delivery method for Salesforce PS Design. I take messy workflows from research through working software, and explore that same end-to-end process in independent projects including Pincushion and Schedulix. Director-level recognition: "may as well be an FDE at this point."

Built and shipped a functional Agentforce PLM demo to Bell's sandbox in <2 weeks. Compressed mid-engagement team ramp by ~70% via NotebookLM tribal-knowledge base.
  • Mentored and onboarded junior designers on Lotus and SiriusXM engagements. Briefed other PS teams on the Cursor methodology after MarketWise; recruited by SVP Bryan LeBoeuf into the CTO-office agent initiative.
  • Prior client engagements: Apple (14-month multi-track lead, GPA/GPO sign-off), Cisco (solo XA across two platforms), Stellantis, SiriusXM, AAA. 5.0/5 average client rating pre-Bell.
  • Side initiatives: shared the method through Vibe-o-Verse starter kits and office hours; built Portfolio Bot and V2MOM Bot for routine team workflows.
