Product design leader — currently at HikeOn Technologies, previously 3i Infotech for six years. I work in the messy middle of enterprise complexity: design systems, AI-native workflows, design-to-code pipelines. Below are the positions I hold, how I use AI in practice, and the domains I've spent real time inside.
Complexity is a structural problem, not a user problem.
AI must earn trust, not assume it.
The IA restructure no stakeholder wants to do is almost always the most valuable design decision on the project.
A design system is a product, not a deliverable.
Collaboration is a design skill — not a soft skill.
Record → transcribe → LLM-assisted theme extraction → manually challenge every theme against raw notes. A 6-hour research session produces a structured insight document in under 2 hours. I use this on every project.
From a validated workflow map, I use an LLM to generate first-draft user stories, edge cases, and acceptance criteria. Then I refine with product and engineering in 45 minutes. This replaced a 3-hour grooming meeting.
I maintain a structured prompt template library for UI microcopy — each prompt includes the component, the user's emotional state, and the desired outcome. First drafts are 80% usable. I edit every line before handoff.
6 competing ERP platforms mapped in 3 hours using an AI-assisted research framework I built. Previously a day and a half. The saved time goes into user interviews — not more desk research.
Before handoff, every component goes through an AI-assisted WCAG check. Not to replace manual judgment — to catch contrast failures, focus order issues, and missing aria labels before the developer sees the file.
Beyond using AI in process — designing it into a live product. Smart inventory alerts, dynamic pricing suggestions, demand forecasting, customer churn scoring, AI-powered catalogue search, and a full AI-agent RFQ portal. All live with real users at HikeOn.
Enterprise design is different. The stakes are operational. The users are professionals. The complexity is real. I've spent 15+ years not simplifying these domains — understanding them.
