Designing iterative **AI workflows** for confident model selection

Interaction Design

Designing iterative AI workflows for confident model selection

I built an AI playground (model comparison interface) around a key user behavior: refining prompts across multiple runs. By keeping inputs persistent and outputs aligned, the system supports continuous exploration and clearer, more confident decision-making.

Bringing clarity and structure to a core product component

I standardized a fragmented component across 40+ product pages. By grounding my design decisions in user data, I prioritized high-impact behaviors and built a reusable system that stays consistent across diverse use cases.

Reducing clinician documentation time through real-time, AI-powered capture

I led the design and development of a multimodal system that captures and structures medical information in real time. By grounding product decisions in real clinician workflows, the system reduces documentation effort and supports faster, more reliable record-keeping.

Unlocking product growth by removing a critical bottleneck in team onboarding

I redesigned how users bring teammates into the product, removing reliance on admins and improving seat utilization. I introduced a request-based invite system that balances self-serve access with seat constraints, increasing adoption across accounts.

I create content to share practical methods, tools, and workflows for designing and building products with AI, shaped by my own evolving practice.


At my core, I'm a problem solver.

I fix things that aren't working by bringing structure, clarity, and direction to complexity. I see design as decision-making, and AI as leverage that expands what I'm capable of, letting me move faster and push ideas further.

More about me:

🌴

From Los Angeles to Israel

I'm originally from LA, and aliyah changed my world in the best way. I did, however, bring my Dodgers loyalty with me.

🏋️

I lift weights

Strength training is my reset button. Discipline in the gym carries over into everything else.

🍳

I love to cook

Cooking is creative problem-solving with immediate feedback. I love the process as much as the result.

📚

I'm always reading

Mostly Japanese literature and philosophy these days. With some Tanakh in the mix.
