I lead design for two AI products built for financial advisors.
12 years designing complex, regulated software in fintech, cybersecurity, policy, and healthcare.
Nobody wants one more AI app to learn. Their companies already said yes to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. So I design the hub in between: it connects the tools people already use, gathers what they need, and checks it against their industry's rules before it reaches the AI they trust.
I use AI the same way in my own process. I build skills and agents that check every design against our components, patterns, and acceptance criteria, so quality holds as we move faster.
for real people.

How I design with AI
AI drafts. Designers decide.
Design has its own lane
Design changes route to design for review. AI never touches production code.
Foundation first
We wrote the rules AI works from before building features. I built the token naming standards.
Every assumption gets a decision
When AI makes a choice our docs don't cover, a designer approves or rejects it before work ships.
Designers think first
Designers write their own read of a flow before AI generates anything.
Hi, I'm Daniella.
I design complex products, paint (usually elephants), and look for better ways for people and technology to work together.
