Nisa is an applied AI ecosystem designed to support complex human work over time, serving K–12 teachers, instructional coaches, and school leaders by helping them carry context forward, reduce cognitive load, and act with confidence.

As founding design lead, I own product design, experience strategy, and narrative direction from concept through pilot, partnering closely with product and engineering to shape roadmap decisions and delivery.

• Work directly with early-stage AI product teams to improve UX, product clarity, and usability across AI-enabled workflows

• Own design of flagship experience concepts that balance near-term delivery with long-term product vision

• Drive applied R&D for AI-driven products, translating human-in-the-loop workflows and interaction patterns into launch-ready use cases

I partner with select startups as a fractional design lead and advisor through my consultancy studio, Gimongo. My work focuses on helping AI-driven education products reach initial market fit by shaping product direction, experience foundations, and early product narrative, while staying hands-on through design and prototyping.
