Agent UX & Development, Design Systems, Agentic Enterprise Workflow Design

I design AI agents people can trust, and prototype them in code.

Staff interaction designer at Google Cloud, shaping agents for complex enterprise workflows: the interaction patterns, the evaluation bar they ship against, and the data standards underneath. Fifteen years across design and front-end code.

Selected work

Google CloudGoogle Partner AgentAgent design

Two agents for Google Cloud's partner ecosystem. An external partner agent inside Partner Hub, Google Cloud's first partner-facing agent. And an internal partner agent for Partner Development Managers that takes on account scorecards and propensity-to-buy analysis, work estimated at 2,784 hours a year by hand. I also set the eval queries and golden outputs used to judge agent quality before launch.

About

I came up through front-end code, and I still design in it. Tools like Claude Code and Gemini are part of how I work, so I build and ship agents, not only the screens around them.
