I design the interfaces people use to steer AI — node editors, agent workflows, and tools that stay powerful without getting opaque.

I design generative media tools and build the prototypes that prove them before there’s a spec. Product designer and creative technologist. 20 years from agency UI → real-time installs → GANs → shipping AI product surfaces (ComfyUI, Genie).

[ HOW I WORK ]

Hidden complexity is the enemy

Complexity is not. Dense, expert-driven workflows can stay dense — they have to be legible, not simplified.

Systems thinking, craft first

A design system is the bridge between design and engineering, not just internal consistency. Every component maps to a real one.

I prototype in code

React and TypeScript, for the questions a Figma file cannot answer.

Most useful early

When the problem is ambiguous and the interface does not exist yet.

I raise the quality bar across squads

Patterns, reviews, and the boring edge cases that make AI UIs trustworthy.

[ TOOLKIT ]

I prototype in code when a Figma file cannot answer the question, and build the tool when the tool does not exist yet.

[ TWO DISCIPLINES, ONE PRACTICE ]

  1. 2000s

    Browser as canvas

    Self-taught web designer as a kid. HTML, JavaScript and Flash, then UI and UX for agencies from 2008.

    HTML · JavaScript · Flash · UI / UX

  2. 2012

    Creative technology

    Real-time visuals and interactive installations. Touchscreen, AR and VR work for Nike, Adidas and Microsoft.

    TouchDesigner · Notch · Houdini · p5.js

  3. 2016

    AI

    DeepDream and GANs first, then custom models trained on my own datasets. That work went to the Venice Biennale in 2019.

  4. NOW

    One practice

    I design generative media tools and build the prototypes that prove them before there’s a spec: node editors, agent workflows, demos, installations.
