AI Lab

A collection of experiments exploring how AI tools are reshaping product design workflows: from concept validation and prototyping to research synthesis, storytelling, and coded experiences.

Prototype experiment

MoveBetter

An AI-assisted product design experiment exploring how quickly a designer can move from concept to working prototype and what still requires human judgment along the way.

  • AI prototyping
  • Product design
  • Usability testing

Built over a 10-day sprint using free AI coding tools and no engineering support, MoveBetter tested how prompting, product thinking, and usability testing interact in a design-to-code workflow. The biggest lesson was discovering where AI accelerates execution and where product decisions still depend on human judgment. In short: AI makes it possible to prototype and test ideas much earlier, but it still needs someone to define the problem and make sense of the results.

Prototype / concept

Pandemic Silence

A rebuild of a pandemic-era storytelling project, exploring how today’s AI tools can accelerate the creation of interactive, media-rich experiences.

  • Data storytelling
  • AI-assisted development
  • Interaction design

The original Pandemic Silence Project website collected sounds from around the world to document how COVID lockdowns changed the soundscape of cities and daily life. This experiment revisits that work using modern AI-assisted tools, comparing what once required a traditional web production process and still fell short of the original vision with what can now be built by a small team, or even a single designer.

Portfolio as a Product

An experiment in using AI to synthesize years of work, clarify positioning, and redesign a portfolio around real hiring feedback.

  • Design systems
  • AI-assisted development
  • Design-to-code

The portfolio you’re currently browsing is the result of that experiment. I gathered hiring feedback, interview notes, my CV, LinkedIn profile, and existing case studies into a shared knowledge base, then used AI to identify gaps, recurring themes, and opportunities to strengthen my positioning. The resulting insights shaped both the content and the build itself, becoming a practical test of how research, design systems, and AI-assisted development can work together to move from strategy to production.
