AI Projects

Experiments, tools, and products built at the intersection of design and AI. These projects explore how AI can extend UX workflows, automate design-to-development handoff, and create new interaction paradigms.

Drift app

Drift

A concept for neurodivergent adults on stimulant medication, built as an interactive HTML prototype. The concept is grounded in a March 2026 JNeurosci study identifying local sleep events as the neurological mechanism behind attention lapses. The prototype includes a pharmacokinetic curve visualization, simulated drift-risk scoring, and shame-aware interaction patterns for tracking focus without triggering avoidance. I defined the concept and research foundation and prototyped it with Claude. The next phase explores wearable EEG integration.

Making My Design System Legible to AI

Working with Claude through the Figma MCP server, I turned 14 loose color styles and a drawn spacing chart into 19 named tokens, connected them to this site, fixed a WCAG AA contrast failure at the source, and added automated design checks on every push. Builds on Phase I, a Figma API color sync tool.

Annotate Figma plugin

Annotate

A Figma plugin that generates functional annotation frames, scaffolding the starting structure for UX documentation directly inside Figma. Built using the Figma Plugin API, with MCP integration planned for a future phase connecting natural language prompts to frame generation.

PDF Edit Tool

PDF Edit Tool

An internal tool released to 500+ global employees in 2025. The PDF Edit Tool is built in Python and allows non-technical users to crop and add margins to PDF documents with ease, streamlining a manual process.
