Building AI Products That Feel Human

Most AI tools are technically brilliant—and emotionally tone-deaf. I bring 25 years of architecture, product strategy, and emotional intelligence to build applications people actually want to use. Because technology should feel human.

The Problem No One's Talking About

AI isn't the problem...

The models are powerful. The technology works. The features are impressive.

Emotional design is

People don't abandon tools because of logic. They abandon them because of emotion. Frustration. Confusion. Distrust.

The solution is simple

Build AI products with emotional intelligence baked in. Not as a feature—as the foundation.

EQ Isn't a Soft Skill. It's a Design Framework.

Architecture makes it work. Security makes it safe. Product makes it useful. EQ makes people want to use it.

When I design an app, I map the emotional journey alongside the technical one. Where do people feel confident? Where might they get stuck? What builds trust?

That's the real work. Not just APIs and pipelines, but trust, clarity, and confidence.

Most AI teams don't have an innovation problem. They have an empathy problem. They're building features nobody asked for because they've stopped asking how people actually feel.

AI doesn't need to replace humans. It needs to feel human.
