Rule-heavy products with many types of users.

01 · About

I design B2B products people enjoy using.

I work from the problem to the clickable prototype: research, design and validation, with a focus on design systems.

I use AI throughout the process and decide what goes into the product.

02 · How I use AI

I use AI to speed up the process. Design decisions stay mine.

  1. Discover

    MeI explore the real system before designing. I read the request, talk to the PO and look for the root of the problem.

    AIHelps me organize what I found and test whether my reading makes sense.

  2. Design

    MeI map rules and flows and build the screens with the design system components.

    AIDrafts the first versions. I choose what stays and refine.

  3. Prototype

    MeI build the clickable prototype in code, the way the product will behave.

    AIWrites a good part of the code. I review the result.

  4. Deliver

    MeI validate with the PO and document for engineering: acceptance criteria, states and rules.

    AIHelps write and check the documentation.

The parallel spreadsheet

The client was stitching data from several modules into a spreadsheet outside the system. I found the cause before drawing a single screen.
