01 — Overview

Building systems people depend on.

Over the past eight years, I've designed products used by startups, agencies, and enterprise organizations across entertainment, technology, and media.

Most recently, I spent more than three years at United Talent Agency helping design internal platforms supporting talent operations, touring, marketing, speakers, and AI initiatives. My work focused on simplifying complex workflows, aligning cross-functional teams, and turning ambiguous business requirements into products people actually use.

02 — Independent Work

Beyond the day job.

Outside of client and enterprise work, I'm constantly building. I founded Alpheraz as an independent design practice and continue to explore ideas at the intersection of product design, artificial intelligence, automation, storytelling, and systems thinking.

Current areas of exploration include:

AI agent systems Decision frameworks Web3 + Blockchain AI Design tools Entertainment infrastructure Fintech

Many of these ideas eventually become products, experiments, or future ventures — see Labs.

03 — Approach

Design philosophy.

I believe great products emerge from understanding systems. Whether designing an enterprise platform, launching a startup, or building an AI workflow, my focus remains the same: understand the problem, reduce unnecessary complexity, and create tools that help people make better decisions.

I'm particularly interested in how small decisions compound into meaningful outcomes over time — an idea that continues to influence both my design process and independent research.
