AI Lab
A running log of experiments — prototypes, tools, and side projects built with AI. Not a portfolio of finished things. More like a sketchbook that’s always open.

Built this portfolio entirely with Claude Code — no template, no Squarespace. I’d been putting off updating my portfolio for years, partly perfectionism, partly time. Using AI to actually build something (not just think through it) was the push I needed to finally ship something real. Imperfect and live beats perfect and local.

S&P Vision Artifact
Used Figma Make and Claude to build an interactive vision artifact for our entire S&P space — concept sketches, storyboards, rough wireframes, and a roadmap all woven together. The goal was to get out of PowerPoint world and create something people could actually move through. Still in progress — but already a different kind of conversation than a deck would have started.

Research Synthesis
Used Microsoft Teams Copilot to synthesize qualitative research across a workshop — cut what usually takes me about a week down to one or two days. More useful than I expected for consolidating fragmented research across our Teams ecosystem into proto-personas when we had none but needed a starting point fast. Still figuring out where AI synthesis earns its place versus where my own pattern recognition matters more.

Shrimp & Grits App 🍤
My next pet project: a personal app to track my family’s vacation hobby of finding and rating the best shrimp & grits we can find! Mostly an excuse to build something real from scratch with AI tools and document the process. Gotta have a little fun! More soon.

How I think about AI as a design tool
“AI is the hot thing right now, for sure. I’m using it because there are parts of my job that don’t require judgement, and the faster I can get through those, the more time I have for the parts that do. It lets me focus on the reframes and the moments where nuance, experience and collaboration with my team matter most.”
