AI PRODUCT DESIGN ADVISOR
AI can build almost anything.
The harder part is making sure it's still what people need.

15 years

Leading AI-native designs since 2016
PhD
Human-centered AI by University of Porto
WHAT I OFFER
Three ways to work together.
Research-grounded judgment, strategic leadership, and hands-on execution — a combination that bridges how AI gets built and how people actually use it. The advisory roster stays small, so the work stays deep.
SPEAKING
Keynotes & workshops
Talks and hands-on sessions on anticipatory design, human-centred AI, and responsible intelligent systems.
TEACHING
Teaching & 1:1 mentoring
Guiding designers and teams toward responsible, high-impact AI. Teaching since 2013.
From data-first to intent-first AI.
A field guide for product and design teams working with AI as a material, not a trend. Eleven frameworks, ten years of practice and research, and the conceptual spine I argue everywhere — that intent sits at the centre of any AI system that holds up.
- A three-phase process: Anticipate, Imagine, Shape
- Bridges design, behavioral science, and machine learning
- Foundational AI concepts through ethical design and foresight methods

I work with product and design teams shipping AI — as an advisor, sometimes leading an in-house seminar, often through the writing and the book. The thread is the same across all of it: AI products that hold up don’t get there by accident. They get there by being designed for intent, not optimised toward data.
The bridge between AI engineering reality and human-centred design is held best by people who have done both. I spend my time building it, on both sides — in the work, in the book, and with the teams who reach out.
