Principal product designer shaping AI that people trust. I design how AI agents behave, how humans and AI work together, and the experiences that turn coaching and learning into real behavior change.
About
I've spent 20+ years designing at the intersection of human behavior and technology.
My experiences ranges from public media at NPR and PBS to learning at Pearson and coaching at Skillsoft. As UX lead for Skillsoft Coaching, I design across learner, coach and enterprise platforms on web, iOS and Android. Lately I've focused on AI: defining how agents behave and hand off to one another, and what an AI coach should never do.
My background is interdisciplinary: a BFA spanning graphic design, electronic music and film. I mentor designers, and I believe the best AI products feel less like software and more like a good conversation
