About Me

My name is Peter and I am a Digital Product Designer who enjoys turning complex ideas into clear, useful, and elegant experiences. My work spans UX, UI, and interaction design, with a growing focus on human-centered AI, and responsible design, in all experience-driven products.




Design Philosophy

"Design isn't pixels.
It's behavior."

 

same image of me as in the header, this time with a dark blue box on the bottom of the image that reads: The best AI products won't be the most intelligent.  They'll be the ones that feel the most human to use.

15+
Years

Designing web, mobile, and AI-driven products for startups, and scale-ups in travel, hospitality, brand, energy, iGaming, and tech (among many other industries)- covering strategy, UX, interaction, and design systems with a focus on clarity, sustainability, and impact.


AI-Augmented By Design

I blend human-insight with AI tools to design smarter products, faster. From research synthesis and concept generation to prototyping and handoff, while keeping the experience human-centered.

From Pixels to Intent:

Where is AI Taking Product Design?

My take on the future of AI in the design sphere. For twenty years, designers have shaped screens. The next decade is about shaping behavior, meaning what a product does, decides, and remembers when no one is looking at it.
Where is this all going?

When AI Stops Listening

A Practical Framework for Getting Unstuck

AI generation tools are excellent for exploration but poor at reliably holding long, multi-step intent.
The designer’s job is not to prompt harder—it is to recognize when to switch from generating to directing, constraining, and finishing manually.

Prompting for Design Intent:

How to Get Closer on the First Try.

A good prompt is not a wish.
It is a brief:
audience, goal, constraints, content hierarchy, visual direction, and definition of success.

Designing with AI

What Changes, What Should Not.

AI changes how interfaces are made, but it does not remove the designer’s responsibility for judgment, trust, clarity, and human control.
Human-centered AI emphasizes involving users, addressing bias, protecting privacy, and designing AI to augment rather than replace human judgment.

Designing for AI Systems

Designing an AI product means designing something that behaves, not just something that looks a certain way. The screen is the smaller part of the problem. The bigger part is deciding how the system speaks, when it asks versus acts, how sure it should sound, and what happens when it’s wrong.

Scientific Interface Design

Scientific interfaces serve people who can’t afford ambiguity. Researchers and lab teams work with dense, high-stakes data, and a misread value or a hidden assumption can cost weeks of work. Here, clarity isn’t a visual preference; it’s a requirement of the work. The design job is to keep complexity visible and manageable instead of simplifying it away.
