In this video, I walk you through the Avalanche payoff system, a debt payoff feature I designed for a prototype banking app using vibe coding. I explain how vibe coding bridges the gap between concept and execution, allowing designers to create functional prototypes quickly—often within minutes—without needing perfect code. I demonstrate the app's features, including the debt avalanche system and debt consolidation options, and emphasize the importance of integrating these tools into our workflows. My main takeaway is that learning vibe coding will enhance our efficiency and collaboration in product design. I encourage all UX designers to explore these tools and incorporate them into their processes....

And Why Designers Who Embrace It Will Lead the Next Decade
The UX profession is evolving faster than most people realize. Over the past few years, as I have integrated AI into my own design practice, I have seen firsthand how these tools are transforming the role of the modern designer. We are entering a new era, one where creativity, strategy, and intelligence converge to create product experiences that were almost impossible to build at this speed even a short time ago...

As a Senior UX Designer at Intel Corporation, I led a continuous improvement initiative to provide design leadership across the company. This project aimed to establish a process for ongoing measurement of the effectiveness of Intel’s external web properties and internal tools, ensuring consistent user experience and usability improvements.
The Challenge
Intel lacked a consistent, scalable process for measuring the effectiveness of UX across its external web properties and internal enterprise tools, making it difficult to prioritize improvements and demonstrate design ROI.
The Approach
Spearheaded a company-wide initiative to establish systematic UX measurement processes. Developed frameworks for ongoing usability assessment, created dashboards for tracking key experience metrics, and built cross-functional alignment around data-driven design decisions.
The Outcome
Established Intel's first unified UX measurement program, enabling consistent usability improvements across digital touchpoints and providing leadership with clear visibility into experience quality and design impact.

As the Principal UX/UI Designer at Kaiser Permanente, I led the creation of an ADA documentation design library to address significant ADA defects caused by ineffective communication between UX designers and developers.
The Challenge
Significant ADA accessibility defects were recurring across digital products due to ineffective designer-developer communication and inconsistent accessibility standards during handoff.
The Approach
Led the creation of a comprehensive ADA documentation design library that bridged the gap between design intent and development implementation. Established clear accessibility patterns, annotation standards, and validation workflows that empowered both designers and developers to build compliant experiences from the start.
The Outcome
Dramatically reduced ADA compliance defects across the healthcare platform, improving the experience for millions of members while reducing costly remediation cycles. The library became the organizational standard for accessibility documentation.

As the Principal Product Designer at Kaiser Permanente, I led the design strategy for the authenticated global navigation system, creating a scalable experience that helped members access high-value healthcare tasks across a complex, regionalized digital ecosystem.
The Challenge
Authenticated KP.org had grown into a complex environment with more than 90 features spread across pages, product areas, and regional variations. Members often had to rely on memory, search, or multiple clicks to find critical tasks related to care, appointments, pharmacy, billing, benefits, messages, and health records.
The Approach
Led the UX strategy and design of a unified global navigation model for authenticated members. The work included research synthesis, tree testing, design workshops, usability testing, interviews, comparative analysis, and A/B testing to validate the structure. I helped organize high-value tasks into clear categories and submenus while accounting for regional differences, proxy access, profile-based needs, accessibility requirements, and future MyChart Evolution integration.
The Outcome
Launched a more scalable, consistent, and task-oriented navigation system that improved access to core healthcare actions across KP.org. The new experience increased global navigation engagement by 65 percent, improved task completion by 4 basis points, and created a flexible foundation for future authenticated capabilities across web and mobile experiences.

As Senior Interaction Designer at Harry & David, I led the UX design for the company’s subscription program, helping define a scalable customer experience for recurring gifting within a high-volume, seasonal e-commerce environment. The work required close partnership with product, merchandising, engineering, and business stakeholders to create a launch-ready experience that could drive near-term revenue while supporting future subscription growth.
The Challenge
Harry & David needed a more scalable way to introduce and support a subscription-based gifting experience within a complex e-commerce ecosystem that included multiple brands, seasonal merchandising, promotional cycles, and high customer expectations around gifting, delivery timing, and product quality. The experience needed to make subscription value clear, reduce friction in the purchase path, and support both near-term launch goals and future program growth.
The Approach
Led the UX design of the Harry & David subscription program experience, partnering closely with product, merchandising, engineering, and business stakeholders to define the customer journey, interaction model, and purchase flow. The work included mapping key subscription use cases, clarifying product selection and delivery expectations, designing account and checkout touchpoints, and creating a phased approach that could launch quickly while supporting future enhancements. I helped shape the initial experience around customer confidence, ease of use, repeat gifting behavior, and operational scalability across the broader Harry & David digital platform.
The Outcome
Launched the initial subscription experience with a clear, conversion-focused path that helped customers understand, purchase, and manage recurring gifting options. The first release generated approximately $330,000 in revenue within the first three months and established a strong foundation for continued subscription growth. A Phase 2 approach was fully planned and on target, expanding the program strategy with additional experience improvements, broader customer use cases, and future optimization opportunities.

Currently in development
As the UX Design Lead for a connected health proof-of-concept, I conceived, designed, and built fully interactive iOS and Apple Watch prototypes demonstrating a next-generation glucose monitoring experience. Leveraging expertise in interaction design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), native iOS design patterns, Apple Human Interface Guidelines, visual design, and advanced AI-assisted development, I created a high-fidelity experience that showcased seamless device connectivity, health data visualization, and intuitive user workflows. The project served as a design and feasibility study, demonstrating how modern AI-enabled workflows can rapidly transform product concepts into polished, functional prototypes.
