10+ years designing AI-powered enterprise SaaS — agentic workflows, AI copilots, and human-in-the-loop interfaces for support platforms serving 70K+ monthly users.
Senior product designer with 0 across enterprise, healthcare, and consumer SaaS. I specialize in agentic workflows, AI copilots, and conversational, human-in-the-loop interfaces — owning design end-to-end from discovery research through pixel-level UI and dev-ready prototypes.
I've led design for AI support platforms — XBert AI, NextIQ, and TataPlay Agent Assist — and built core components of a token-based design system that accelerated design-to-development handoff across teams. I work in a code-based prototyping loop with Cursor and Claude to align stakeholders fast.
