Experience
Two years ago, I recognized the transformative potential of AI and made a deliberate choice to leave the corporate world. I needed hands-on experience building AI products that I knew I would not get in a traditional enterprise environment. That risk paid off. I have now shipped 4 AI products to market, integrated AI deeply into my design workflow, and mentored other designers on how to leverage these tools effectively.
