The AI Adoption Reality

Companies are using AI at wildly different levels, from a few scattered tools to deep, daily workflows.

But most can't see what they're missing: where AI could move the business next, or how much value is being left on the table.

I help organizations find those gaps and turn them into measurable, daily outcomes.

Strategic Capabilities

Bridging the gap between AI capability and user reality.

AI Workflow Architecture

Reliable, repeatable workflows built on raw AI output, so teams move faster with fewer errors.

Human-in-the-Loop Systems

Systems that keep people in control, so AI earns trust and gets adopted instead of resisted.

Trust & Governance UX

Guardrails, citations, and clear decision boundaries that let even regulated teams adopt AI with confidence.

Adoption Instrumentation

Tracking the behavior that proves ROI, like adoption rates and decision speed, not just API calls.

Proof of Execution
New Capability +19% Consumer Adoption
Walmart: Led significant consumer adoption through intelligent benefits marketing. Coordinated a 14-team rollout of a new capability letting any local store offer Walmart delivery.
Integration Lead +62% Task Success
Shopify: Led integration for Shopify merchants, including new AI features to make complex tooling easier to adopt.
Early AI · Marketing 85% Workflow Adoption
Illumina: Drove early AI and algorithm-led adoption in marketing, making advanced capability approachable for scientific buyers.
Sole Designer 33% Behavior Lift
Intuit / TurboTax: As sole designer on key checkout trust flows (including Apple Pay trust-critical UX), drove a 33% checkout conversion lift.
The AI Adoption Model

The Trust & Adoption Layer

01

Efficiency

Efficiency is about removing friction across the whole workflow so teams move faster. One example is automating mundane tasks or making information easy to find, freeing your best people to spend their talent on what matters most.

02

Trust

People act on AI they can trust. Showing why a recommendation was made, with sources and clear risk levels, turns hesitation into confident decisions.

03

Ease of Use

Adoption sticks when AI fits the way people already work. New capability lands inside familiar workflows, so it feels intuitive instead of disruptive.

04

Foundations

Reliable AI needs a consistent foundation. Standardized building blocks keep output presented the same way every time, so the experience stays dependable as it scales.

05

Cost

Success is measured in business value, not token usage alone. The full picture of value added and productivity gains must factor into the P&L.

If your team has AI capability but weak adoption, let’s fix the operating layer.
