Responsibilities

Architect intentional journeys: Lead user research to uncover pain points in the human-AI relationship, creating journey maps that turn the complexity of multi-step agentic reasoning into clarity for the end user.
Design for non-deterministic UI: Move beyond static wireframes to create dynamic interaction patterns that handle AI latency, ambiguity, and error states gracefully, ensuring users always feel in control of the autonomous process.
Facilitate co-creation: Lead workshops and usability tests to balance desirability with feasibility, working closely with creative technologists and AI engineers to ensure the intelligence of the system matches the intuition of the user.
Master Human-in-the-Loop (HITL): Design the critical hand-off moments where an agent needs human validation, ensuring that transparency and trust are built into every automated workflow.
Champion ethical design: Advocate for accessibility and inclusive intelligence, ensuring that our AI experiences are equitable and work for all users across diverse backgrounds.
Shape the interface era: Maintain a strong perspective on how agentic AI drives human-centered design, using clear storytelling to inspire alignment across the full design lifecycle—from discovery to delivery.
