SnapEngage Enterprise UX Design
SnapEngage needed to redesign their core product from the ground up. I ran the sprint, designed the solution, tested it with real users, and delivered.
AI
The elephant
in the room.
Human-centered. Occasionally AI-augmented. NEVER AI-first.
Everyone wants AI in everything right now. Cool. AI has a place in the process, and I use it selectively. But templates and genAI slop are not a substitute for a designer.
My process stays true to the roots of craft: human judgment, taste, and the strategic design thinking nobody else in the room has.
At POPflow, every decision that reaches the user passes through thirty-five-plus years of that judgment before it ships.

You’ll be working with me.
...not a project manager translating to me.
From enterprise, where the stakes are large and the politics are even larger, to startups, to running my own practice, I've watched the same thing kill design quality everywhere there's a hierarchy: senior time divided by junior handoffs.
POPflow is structured deliberately as a department of one. You're paying for the work and expertise, not layers of management.
Most agencies sell you process and then hand you a junior. POPflow is the inverse. You get the senior, and the process is the part you don't have to manage.
Jackson says...
Smart leaders get it...
