Designing clarity into complex systems.

How I operate

Sole designer, multiple times

I’ve been the only designer in the room with founders and stakeholders, owning every decision from problem definition through dev handoff. No design lead. No PM filtering requests.

What I ship

Concept to product in 2 weeks

Jose AI started as an idea with zero artifacts. I scoped what to build, designed every flow, and delivered a complete AI SaaS MVP. Not executing a spec. Deciding what the product should be.

How I think

Self-initiated, self-validated

I saw broken parking UX in Edmonton, prototyped a fix using AI-assisted design tooling, and tested it with 5 real users. 47% faster task completion. Nobody asked me to do any of it.
