Generic, templated interfaces
AI reaches for the most common pattern, not the right one for your users. Everything ends up looking like everyone else.
UX/UI Design · For builders
AI can build your app in a weekend. Making people want to use it is a different job.
Your AI-built product works and ships fast — but users drop off, the interface looks generic, and you can't tell whether people are confused or just not interested. I bring the human judgment, research, and craft AI can't, so your app feels considered, trustworthy, and genuinely easy to use.
The gap
Your app is 80% there. I design the 20% that decides whether people stay.
AI is great at building. It's not great at understanding people — and that last stretch is exactly what turns a product that demos well into one people actually keep using.
The problem
Where AI-built products quietly leak users.
No real user research
AI can't talk to your customers, watch them struggle, or understand the emotional context behind a task.
Weak information hierarchy
Screens get technically correct but hard to scan. Users don't know where to look or what to do next.
Onboarding & edge cases skipped
The happy path works. The moment a real person deviates from it, the experience breaks.
No judgment calls
Good UX is a thousand small decisions about tone, spacing, wording, and priority. AI averages them; it doesn't decide them.
The result: a product that demos well but leaks users — and you can't always see why.
What I do
Human UX expertise, layered onto your AI-built product.
Four ways to work together — from a one-off audit to an ongoing design partnership.
01Audit
UX Audit
Find where users drop off.
A structured review of your live app or prototype. I go through it the way your users do, find where they get confused or hesitate, and hand you a prioritized list of what to fix — with the why behind each recommendation.
02Design
UX/UI Design & Redesign
Interfaces that look intentional.
A full redesign or specific screens — onboarding, dashboard, pricing, empty states — designed for real people, not just the demo, and delivered ready to hand back to your AI build tool or developer.
03Partnership
UX Consulting & Partnership
Design judgment while you build.
You bring the product and the AI tools; I bring the design judgment — reviewing your flows, pressure-testing decisions, and steering you away from expensive UX mistakes before they ship.
04Fix
Targeted Improvements
One clear problem, solved fast.
A leaky onboarding, a confusing checkout, a feature nobody uses? I diagnose the real cause and deliver a focused fix, designed and ready to implement.

Why a human, not just AI
AI builds the app. I make it worth using.
AI is one of my tools — I use it too, and I move fast because of it. But the parts that decide whether people stay or leave still need a person.
Real empathy for how your specific users think and feel.
Judgment about hierarchy, tone, and priority beyond "the common pattern."
The ability to spot the problem AI didn't know to look for.
Craft and taste that make a product feel like someone cared.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
I already built my app with AI. Isn't the design done?
It's generated — which is different from designed. AI gives you a functional starting point. I turn it into an experience your users actually trust and enjoy.
Do you replace my AI tools?
No. I work alongside them. I deliver designs and specs you can feed straight back into your build process.
How fast can you work?
A focused audit or targeted fix can turn around in days. Larger redesigns depend on scope — we'll set a clear timeline up front.
Can we work together ongoing?
Yes — the consulting & partnership option is built for exactly that.
