AI, in practice
Small tools I built to chew on one question — when the AI does the work, how does the human stay in charge?
The fastest way to understand a design material is to build with it, not spec it. So I picked a problem, wrote a brief, and prototyped with AI as a collaborator — each one shipped in an afternoon. But I kept aiming them at the thing I care about in my actual work: the seam between a capable model and the person who has to trust it. Four toys. One obsession — the human stays informed, in control, and the final judge.

A note on how I use AI
Prompting is part of my design craft
Prompting is a design skill — clear brief, tight loops, ruthless judgment on the output. But the work I care about starts one step later. Models are confidently wrong. They act before you're ready. They hide their reasoning. Good AI design isn't a smarter answer; it's an interface that lets a person catch the mistake, veto the action, and overrule the machine. That's the muscle these are training.
