Service design, product strategy, and human-centered AI workflows
I work on service problems where a cleaner screen is only part of the answer.
I interview people, trace the handoffs and business rules shaping their experience, then work out where a service or AI system should intervene and where a person still needs to decide.
Selected work
Human-centered workflows across research, clinical decisions, service operations, and digital purchasing.
I lead with Lumen because it shows how I think when the problem is messy: make the evidence inspectable, define who is responsible for what, and be honest about what the work did not prove.

Lumen: AI-Assisted Research Library and Courtroom Validation System
Strategy teams needed a reviewable path from scattered research to partner decisions, not another untraceable AI answer.
What’s supportedA working research and validation workflow was completed; leadership impact, rollout, and adoption were not measured.

2023-2025
Surgical Video Summarization Service
Clinicians needed useful visual evidence at the moment of decision without adding workflow burden or transferring clinical responsibility to AI.
What’s supported
A surgeon-tested concept and pilot workflow were evaluated; no clinical efficacy, production deployment, or broad hospital adoption is claimed.
Mercedes-Benz China · Multi-channel assistance
2018-2019
Multi-Channel Roadside Assistance
A distressed driver needed a clear path to help across web, hotline, WeChat, mobile, and in-car channels.
What’s supported
Final desktop and mobile designs and the modeled step reduction are documented; launch and production outcomes are not verified.
CrowdStrike · Self-service purchasing
2022
Self-Service Cybersecurity Purchasing
SMB customers needed a digital path through product, account, payment, subscription, and order rules previously supported by assisted sales.
What’s supported
Final designs and workflow decisions are documented; no checkout-specific production metric is sufficiently supported for publication.

2020-2022
Trip-Intent Search Experiments
One compact gateway had to help travelers choose among bundled packages and hotel-only stays without making the starting decision feel like work.
What’s supported
Both experiments moved targeted search behaviors in a positive direction. Exact percentages are withheld because the surviving records conflict on metric labels and values.
I usually start by asking what the interface is making a person carry.
Sometimes it is repeated information. Sometimes it is uncertainty, a hidden business rule, or a judgment the technology should never make on its own. That distinction changes what should be designed.
Observe
Trace the work as it happens
Look at tasks, tools, evidence, handoffs, exceptions, and incentives.
Frame
Name the responsibility
Be clear about what technology may propose, what evidence stays visible, and who decides.
Adopt
Plan for what happens after the prototype
Define ownership, rollout, recovery, guidance, governance, and measurement.
Supporting work on comparison and platform constraints.
This project shows how I compare interaction models, work within an existing component system, and keep outcome claims inside the evidence.
