Applied AI / Product Builder / Creative Technology

Recent MFA — School of the Art Institute of Chicago

Applied AI for real workflows.

I start from real problems and messy workflows — then define the product, build the system, and prototype interfaces people can actually use.

FitFabric

Designing an AI-assisted system for garment understanding and fit reasoning.

Applied AI product

How I turned fit uncertainty into an evidence-driven product system.

FitFabric is a working research prototype I defined to explore how garment evidence, body measurements, and fit preferences can produce a recommendation without hiding uncertainty.

Chicago Art Index

Information system Public surface + admin workflow Evidence pending

A discovery and indexing system for Chicago's cultural landscape.

The problem

Gathering scattered art events is easy; knowing what is accurate enough to publish is the real work.

Mana Web Platform

Community platform Spaces · tenants · operations In progress

Digital infrastructure for spaces, tenants, and community operations.

The problem

Tenants, staff, and visitors each need different answers from the same organization — so the platform grows module by module from actual requests.
