Probabilistic UX
Certainty is a UX convention. AI breaks it.
Design for confidence, not certainty. Communicate honestly, handle ambiguity, and keep users oriented when the AI is not sure.

The Manifesto
I started out as a musician, where I learned that mastering an instrument wasn’t the only goal. It was the baseline requirement to create something meaningful. That perspective has followed me through twenty years of product design, from design agencies to in-house teams at Mercedes-Benz R&D, Amazon, Apple, and Google.
During my time at Google, I’ve designed for Geo, Search and created internal tooling for the first Gemini launch, earning a named contribution on the Gemini 1.0 technical paper. Today, my focus is on AI infrastructure and developer tools.
To me, the current biggest design challenge isn't about making models smarter, it's closing the gap between what AI can do and what people actually trust and need it to do. Bridging that divide takes people who get the technical foundation, care about human behavior, and have the skills to translate between the two. That is the work. That is what I do.

Four principles for
AI product design
02
Human–AI Collaboration
AI should make humans more powerful, not passive.
Automation that strips out judgment creates liability. Design for amplification: the right information, legible recommendations, and humans kept where they add value.
03
Invisible Guardrails
Safety that interrupts gets bypassed.
Build constraints into the interaction itself. Guide people toward better outcomes without breaking flow, so safety becomes a design quality instead of a checkbox.
04
Latency as Interface
The wait is a design canvas.
AI thinks before it responds. Design the wait to feel intentional, transparent, and useful: what is happening, why it takes time, and what comes next.
