Product Designer @ Zeta Global · Data Layer & Forecasting Pods

I design AI products for trust and human agency, for the quiet users and the technical experts. My path here was non-linear: clinical operations and cell biology research before product design at Zeta Global. That clinical background is why I push back on AI-first patterns that replace human judgment.

How do you get someone to trust an AI recommendation they can't see the reasoning behind?
Inherited MidwayMoving Target

I designed the platform's home for AI recommendations, giving marketers enough visibility into each suggestion to act with confidence. I picked up a direction others had shaped for months and steered it to launch.

How do you give marketers enough forecasting depth to defend their decisions, without burying them in every knob the platform offers?
Scope CreepRejected Directions

I consolidated forecasting workflows scattered across separate tabs into one canvas where marketers compare scenarios before committing budget. I shaped the concept from vague, shifting directions into something solid enough to build for a main-stage demo.

How do you make a platform's AI reach out first, when everything about it was built to wait for a prompt?
Paradigm ShiftCross-Team Constraint

I designed the platform's proactive AI pattern, shifting the assistant from waiting on the user to surfacing timely recommendations on its own. It introduced AI-initiated interaction to a platform where every action waited on a prompt.
