## About

Behind every click, approval, and AI prompt is a question nobody says out loud: Can I trust this system enough to rely on it? Across a career in Human\-Centered Design, User Experience \(UX\) Research & Design, Product Strategy, and AI Product Leadership, I've learned that the answer is often decided before anyone sees a screen\. It starts with an earlier question\.\.\. what is actually worth building? So I start with the problem, not the technology\. Research and discovery come first: understanding people, finding the real opportunity, and bringing business, product, design, engineering, and data together around it\. The hardest technology problems are rarely technical\. They emerge where business goals, engineering complexity, human behavior, and operational reality meet\. When both questions are answered well, people adopt what gets built\. The results follow: → $32M\+ business impact through AI products, platform modernization, and digital transformation → $16M\+ profit improvement through predictive analytics and AI decision support → 63% reduction in manufacturing downtime through research\-driven product redesign → A credit approval process simplified from 55 steps to 15, increasing sales by 36% → Enterprise workflows reduced from 60 minutes to about 1 minute → Consumer health apps reaching 250K\+ installs, including the \#1 free allergy tracker app → 400\+ hours of production effort saved yearly through an AI\-powered Content Factory The same thinking carries into consumer health: a pollen allergy app, an infant skin\-assessment tool, and immunization\-tracking and parent\-education platforms that help families make health decisions with confidence\. With AI, both questions get harder\. AI can generate an answer in seconds\. Whether people understand it, trust it, and act on it is still a human problem\. That's my focus now through KeystoneAI Systems: helping organizations build the right AI product experiences through Problem & Opportunity Discovery, AI Product Strategy, Human\-Centered AI Design, UX Research, Product Design, and Customer Experience \(CX\) & Service Design, plus team capability building through the Before You Build AI™ course and workshops\. I'm particularly interested in the space between what technology can do and what people need\.\.\. and how getting that right creates lasting value for the business\.
