The Framework

I help organizations prepare for a future where AI must earn trust… not just attention.

I’m a global marketing leader and human-centered designer and technologist with deep experience translating complexity into clarity. While my current role focuses on strategic marketing and creative direction in wealthtech, my emerging body of work is centered on a broader goal: aligning responsible AI with real human needs.

Through my research, writing, and systems design work, Iā€™m buildingĀ The Human Margin Clarity System, a framework that helps organizations scale trust from the engineering team to the public during AI transformation. This work blends my background in machine learning, brand strategy, design, and organizational change.

I focus on:

  • Responsible AI implementation through trust architecture and clarity frameworks

  • Organizational alignment in AI-era leadership and system design

  • Narrative strategy that helps teams and the public move through ambiguity with integrity

  • Human-centered innovation rooted in care, ethical action, and neurodiversity advocacy

Iā€™m choosing not to just watch the field of AI evolve, Iā€™m building in public to support it. My writing and systems thinking offer practical ideas for leaders, teams, and builders navigating the human layer and strategic weight of intelligent systems.

The Origin Story

My Art

From acrylic canvases to digital illustrations, each piece explores the intersection of systems and soul, a small act of decoding what it means to belong in both structure and story.

While I sometimes use AI-assisted creativity tools to accelerate visual storytelling in professional and organizational settings, my personal artwork remains largely hand-painted, an act of gratitude, humility, and quiet defiance, one brushstroke at a time.

This artistic practice mirrors the same values I bring to my work in human-centered AI: intentionality, trust, and emotional clarity.
