AI & Conversational UX
Mini Artifacts
AI chats lose context the moment you scroll up. This research prototype tests whether conversation-aware cards that persist, evolve, and dissolve can reduce cognitive load in multi-step planning.
Solo research project · 2 weeks
DesignSkills
Most solo developers skip design thinking entirely — they don't have a designer on the team. This open-source toolkit brings 8 structured design skills directly into Claude Code so teams ship user-centered products, not just code.

AI Info Gathering
AI assistants ask 20 questions in a row and users check out. Designed 7 structured input cards that replace conversational Q&A — giving users agency, progress, and the ability to skip.

Dempsey UX Writing
Startup competitions are noisy — every booth has a pitch deck. We needed words that triggered emotion first, then logic. Crafted UX writing that turned our pitch into a story judges couldn't walk past.
