Designing systems that turn complexity into clarity across AI, creativity and productivity.
Leading design for AI-driven creative tools across audio, speech, and video. Defined interaction models for generative sound effects and speech introducing performance-based workflows, multi-model systems, and scalable patterns now informing future Adobe products.
Led cross-platform design initiatives across theming, branding, and visual systems. Re-architected Outlook's surface and illustration systems in collaboration with Fluent design bringing consistency, expression, and modernity across web, desktop, and mobile.
Designed foundational experiences including smart templates and core interaction redesigns. Focused on reducing complexity and improving usability transforming spreadsheets into more approachable, structured, and data-driven workflows.
Generative SFXProduct designer2024, 2025Turning sound effects into something you perform in time, not describe in prompts.
Defined a new interaction model for generative audio combining performance-driven input with a lightweight timeline system to enable precise, iterative sound design directly on video.
Adobe had a mature generative SFX model but no product surface, risking both wasted investment and loss of competitive positioning in AI-driven video workflows.
Existing approaches treated sound generation as prompt → output, disconnected from timing, motion, and creative intent. There was no clear form factor for how generative audio should integrate with video.
Reframed sound creation as performance in context. Defined product direction and constraints for an early-stage system: • performance-driven input for timing and energy control • attached generation sets for in-context comparison • lightweight timeline system for placement, snapping, and iteration Made intentional tradeoffs avoiding full DAW complexity and limiting scope (track count, duration) to prioritize clarity, speed, and adoption.
Shipped a generative SFX editor across desktop & mobile web surfaces, enabling creators to compose sound directly on video. Established interaction patterns now informing Firefly video workflows and influencing roadmap prioritization across Express and Premiere.
