B2B Security & Compliance Platform
AIdiscoverystrategyValidated
Agentic future of security reviews
As more security portals and tools entered the market, expectations had shifted. I led solo discovery, concepting, and design to deliver a validated interactive prototype illustrating the agentic tools needed, and how they could appear in the UI.
Key challenge: Meeting reviewers where they were, when our customers wanted to control presentation differently.
- Validated Interaction Paradigm
- 1–2 hrs est. time saved per use

AI source cleanup for enterprise
AI answer quality was clearly degrading as enterprise knowledge bases filled with duplicate and conflicting entries. After our PM departed, I led the team through discovery and concept exploration for a cleanup tool. I executed final design and guided engineers through implementation and tracking.
Key challenge: Maximizing speed and efficiency when customers weren't ready to trust automation.
- Organic Discovery & adoption
- Unsolicited Customer praise
Where I Excel
Leading discovery, collaboration, and design to delight users.
- Balancing needs, expectations, constraints, and opportunities to invent new things
- Cultivating clarity through strategy, insights, systems, and alignment to enable great decisions
- Anchoring teams in the problem space before the solution space so the best ideas can surface
- Mapping experiences to mental models across web, mobile, API, CLI, and agentic surfaces
