Design career path

Design Technologist at SysAid, focused on AI-native product experiences and agentic workflows.

I design complex B2B workflows where the hard problem isn't the UI it's the system logic underneath it. At SysAid, I sit at the intersection of product design, AI, and engineering: shaping experiences, evolving design infrastructure, and building the workflows that help design and eng move faster together.
