the pursuit of ai

AI with heart

From fine art to digital design to 20 years building across code, consulting, and product design—user experience has been the thread connecting it all, the lens that keeps people at the center. Each turn reinforced the same thing: technology is at its best when it amplifies what makes us human, not when it tries to replace us.

That’s the lens I bring to AI: building and experimenting to find where technology enhances rather than erases what makes us human.

A sleek, matte charcoal laptop half-open on a pristine white desk, its screen displaying a minimalist neural network diagram in subtle blues and grays. Around it, neatly arranged notebooks with clean kraft covers, a silver pen aligned parallel to the keyboard, and a slim, dark gray wireless mouse. The background shows a softly blurred, glass-walled office with clean architectural lines. Cool, diffused daylight enters from an unseen window, creating gentle reflections on the laptop’s metallic edges and casting soft, controlled shadows. Photographed at eye level with a slight three-quarter angle, sharp focus on the laptop and a mild depth falloff. The mood is professional, focused, and composed, with a photographic realism and a corporate, minimalist aesthetic reinforcing careful, structured thinking about artificial intelligence.
