Translate fast-evolving generative AI capability into product experiences that creative users can adopt without friction.

Outcome

Outcome

Created a foundation for AI-powered creative workflows inside Sumo’s product ecosystem, aligning engineering feasibility with user value.

The brief

The opportunity was bigger than adding a single AI feature. The real work was defining a usable creative system around generation, editing, and scaling while keeping the product approachable.

What I drove

  • Directed how AI concepts became user-facing product capabilities

  • Helped shape API and product workflow design for image features

  • Worked across technical execution, product framing, and launch readiness

Why it mattered

This work sharpened the blend I enjoy most: deep technical curiosity combined with product sense, visual ambition, and operational follow-through.
