AI Experiments

WORKING ARTIFACTS

I use generative tools to make products I can inspect, use, and improve. Recent work includes Daily Shodo, a published creative journal, and interactive product prototypes.

THE PRACTICE

Each experiment starts with a question and produces something tangible. I choose the goal, verify the facts, and shape what deserves to exist.

THE RECORD

The public experiment journal documents the work and its next steps.

Research finds the direction.
Leadership carries it forward.

I study complex work closely enough to reveal the model underneath it, then help multidisciplinary teams turn that evidence into product decisions, shared ownership, and sustained delivery.

01

UX research

Find the right problem.

I enter the work where it happens—interviews, contextual inquiry, working-session replays, usability studies, and mixed evidence—then build a grounded model of what people are trying to accomplish.

Product leadership

Help teams decide and deliver.

I help teams agree on the problem, choose what to build first, assign ownership, and keep learning as the work ships.
