How I work with AI

I'm always learning. These are the ways AI shows up in my daily routine and design process.

AI in process

Problems get framed in LLM before design tool opens. I use AI to critique the work, not just validate it.

AI as production tool

I built this portfolio in Framer with Claude + Gemini. The product is the source of truth.

AI as leverage

I built AI agent to automate my repetitive workflows (job hunting too).
