Paradigm
Shift.
Over the last year — and especially into this year — the way I think about design, approach problems, and define my own responsibilities has significantly changed.
I've completely shifted how I work. There's been a resurgence in how I explore products and push the boundaries of what design can do. Adopting agents, structured knowledge systems, and AI-assisted workflows has opened up capabilities I didn't have before — and a new kind of autonomy.
The projects here reflect that journey. Some were built before the shift, grounded in traditional process and design thinking. Others sit somewhere in the middle. The newer experiments show what becomes possible when the full workflow is in effect.
