Assertant / Product + UX consulting

More work

A complex vision.
A clear experience.

I led UX work for an AI-driven knowledge platform, connecting ambitious product ideas with workflows people could understand and teams could deliver.

The design challenge

Give the vision
a usable shape.

Connect product intent, interaction design, and the realities of implementation.

01 / FRAMEUnderstand
the context.
Stakeholders + workflows
02 / EXPLOREMake ideas
tangible.
Flows + prototypes
03 / REVIEWBring people
into the loop.
Feedback + iteration
04 / CONNECTCarry intent

Engineering partnership
A new, high-level illustration of my design responsibilities. No client interface, data, or technical architecture is depicted.

01 / Context

Start with people.
Structure the complexity.

The platform vision connected professionals, developers, researchers, and learners in a shared knowledge ecosystem. My role was to translate that breadth into usable flows while considering accessibility, product consistency, and implementation feasibility.

Discovery

Find the questions
worth answering.

I conducted stakeholder interviews, analyzed workflows, and facilitated collaborative discovery sessions to give the design work a clear foundation.

Interaction design

Make the experience
discussable.

I created user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes so teams could review how the experience worked, beyond a list of features.

Delivery partnership

Design with
the constraints.

I worked closely with engineering and brought product, QA, and business perspectives into iterative feedback and design workshops.

02 / Designing the experience

AI assistance.
Visible human control.

Across AI-assisted and operational workflows, I focused on three priorities: keeping context visible, making generated output reviewable, and giving complex tasks a clear next step. These illustrations communicate those principles at a high level.

AI-assisted work / ConceptNeeds review

An editable starting point.

A useful draft keeps supporting context close and leaves room for human judgment.

Supporting context

Workflow clarity / ConceptA clear next step

Make the task understandable.

Organize the work around context, review, and a deliberate next action.

Understand the scope

Orient people before asking for input.

Review what matters

Keep the relevant information in view.

Continue with confidence

Make the next action clear.

Generic illustrations rebuilt for this portfolio with fictional content and a different visual system. Original interfaces, names, records, and internal design details are omitted.

03 / AI in the design process

Expand the exploration.
Keep the judgment human.

I used generative AI and MCP-supported workflows as aids to exploration and iteration. The value was in making ideas easier to develop and discuss, while keeping design decisions grounded in context, feedback, and engineering collaboration.

A connected workflow.
A considered result.

This conceptual model communicates the approach at a high level. It does not reproduce private prompts, tool configurations, integrations, or client workflows.

01 / Bring context

Start from the design question and the constraints that matter.

02 / Explore with AI

Use AI-assisted exploration to make alternatives tangible.

03 / Connect with MCP

Use MCP-supported tooling within the design workflow, without exposing the underlying setup.

04 / Review and iterate

Evaluate the work with human judgment and cross-functional feedback.

My perspective

Better tools can shorten a loop. Design judgment gives that loop a useful direction.

04 / Contribution + collaboration

My design leadership.
Our shared delivery.

The work brought UX strategy, product craft, and technical collaboration together. This account focuses on my responsibilities and approach; it does not claim a quantified business result.

What I contributed

  • Stakeholder interviews and workflow analysis
  • User flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes
  • Design workshops and iterative feedback sessions
  • Attention to usability, accessibility, and consistency

What we worked through together

Product intent, business needs, technical feasibility, and design quality had to stay in conversation. I partnered with engineering to shape implementable solutions and used collaborative reviews to support shared understanding.

High-level account of my role, supported by my résumé and design references. All visuals are newly reconstructed for this portfolio. Private interfaces, client data, and implementation details are omitted.

Another side of product craft.
