Director, Product Design
At Hyperscience I led a multidisciplinary 3-person design team in defining enterprise AI product vision, crafting intuitive workflows, high-fidelity prototypes, and scalable design systems to deliver measurable customer value and market differentiation.
I developed a generic model framework that increased the total addressable market of use-cases by 2x, enabled by faster integration of new models.
I championed a multidisciplinary design organization, orchestrating enterprise-grade product vision and strategy that fused Human-in-the-Loop AI with scalable design systems to deliver measurable customer value and market differentiation for Hyperscience.
I directed design while simultaneously owning product strategy and hands-on delivery of flagship features
