INFO
I’m a designer living in Pleasanton, California. I've always believed that design is creating things that work well and are delightful to use. Throughout my journey, I strive to dive deeper into understanding how humans interface with technology and see how these existing complex behaviors can be transformed into a more delightful experience. There is still so much left to explore.
I decided to shift my career towards human interface design as soon as I got into college. My background in marketing and sales offers me a unique blend of perspectives. Marketing is how to get people excited about what you have to offer, Sales is the art of converting those people into paying customers, and Design is making the end-to-end experience as intuitive and delightful as possible.
In 2020, I got access to OpenAI's GPT3 — nearly two years before ChatGPT came out — and my world completely changed. I knew that designing native AI experiences will require a fundamentally fresh approach and something that no one has dared to try before. As "ambient computing" comes into the mainstream, I will bring a new design approach and system for both humans and AIs.
FOUNDATIONS
My foundational approach to design is grounded in 3 principles: Clarity, Connection, and Control.
Clarity. My job is to ensure that every element in an interface serves a purpose and is easy to understand. With clarity comes avoiding clutter and providing clear, concise information.
Connection. One thing that most digital experiences lack is an emotion-based connection. Including small touches that surprise and delight users, such as playful animations or thoughtful microinteractions can make such a difference in perception.
Control. People want control over their actions in a digital space. Make it easy to undo mistakes and customize their experience. Avoid unnecessary prompts or notifications that disrupt their workflow.
