Side-projects where I stress-test AI models for art, music & micro-apps, show off new paintings and other general nonsense that's not "professional."
A New Kind Of Feeling - Music Video
Every song paints pictures in the mind— and to accompany the new song A New Kind of Feeling, I wanted those pictures to move and embody the spirit and sense of the song. Not just a static album cover, not just abstract footage. I wanted the visuals to grow and shift with the music, breathing in sync with the lyrics.

Design Fast with a UX (Co)Pilot
When you're juggling complex ideas, weird inspirations, and the practical demands of a modern portfolio, there's something magical about getting a second brain to riff with—and UX Pilot delivers that in spades.
Building Systim.ai: Human-inspired, AI-generated stuff
It started with an experiment: Could AI tools be used to create artwork that feels both beautifully crafted and genuinely unique? The answer, it turns out, is yes — and the Systim Etsy shop was born from that curiosity.
Why I Built Systim, My Custom GPT
I created Systim—a custom GPT trained on my body of work. It’s a conversational assistant designed to help people explore my experience, capabilities, and design philosophy in a more interactive, intelligent way.
Enhancing UX Research and Design With AI
The session, “Enhancing UX Research & Design with AI Tools,” was a fast-paced, exploratory conversation that unpacked both practical applications and paradigm-shifting opportunities for using AI in the UX process.
AI Model Exploration
I've been spending a lot of time focusing on AI both professionally and creatively. Below are some of the tools I regularly use and find to give the best results for my purposes when designing both enterprise-level and "microsites." This is just my experience. If you think they should be reordered or other tools should be added/replaced, let me know! I'm very interested in learning new things within the AI field.
