Brain grace

A designer's field notes on working with AI.

Most of what I see about AI right now is doom and gloom, but I keep finding ways it's actually useful. Brain Grace is where I share what I tried, what worked and what I'd do differently, starting with notes from building Mo.

About me

I'm a Product Designer who enjoys turning complex operational challenges into intuitive experiences.

From 2021 to 2026 I designed software for fundraising and endurance organizations, working across event registration, ticketing, auctions, volunteer management, and participant experiences.

Outside of design, you'll usually find me training for my next race, learning about AI, or playing guitar. Being part of the endurance community gives me a unique perspective when designing products for the people who organize, support, and participate in these events.
