I design interfaces for AI products and build them in code. Design decisions stay with me; the execution between them I automate.

Selected work

Erstan, Annexa’s AI agent platform for NetSuite

Now We Collide / TheBird.AI · marketing site · Next.js · 6 pages in 6 weeks

Designed the visual language that shows users when they are dealing with an AI agent, built from how agents already appear in the client’s product rather than invented for the website.
Set the rules for when and where an agent appears in the interface. Adopted into the client’s signed brand system and now going into the product itself.

Design-to-production agent pipeline — Claude Code plugin marketplace

Riu-F/riu-agents · 3 plugins · 15 agents · 9 skills

Built a pipeline for client pages: brand extraction, page build, then port into the client’s CMS. Shipped around 40 pages of the FSC website through it.
The build runs unattended between two human checkpoints, so design judgment stays with a person.

Client review kit with a closed AI feedback loop

Self-initiated internal product · Next.js + Supabase · used across client projects

Built a review layer that drops onto any prototype so clients comment directly on the page, instead of feedback arriving scattered across email and calls.
Each comment records what it was left on, so nobody has to describe which part of the page they mean.
Built for an AI to use, not just a person: Claude reads the open comments and makes the fixes on a branch.

Personal context system, and the AI brain built on it

Markdown vault + Next.js · Anthropic SDK · MCP

Built the system I work from: 120+ notes that record decisions and the reasoning behind them as the work happens, rather than documents written after it. My portfolio, my bios, and this résumé are generated from it.
Published a queryable version on my site — chat with it, or connect your own AI to it over MCP.
