Designing
with intent.

I'm Tyler, a product designer at Microsoft working on AI and agent experiences. What gets me out of bed is building tools that genuinely change what people can do. When something I designed makes someone's work faster or clearer or less frustrating, that's the whole point.

I care as much about product strategy as I do about the interface. I want to understand why something should exist before I figure out what it should look like. I prototype directly in code so ideas get stress tested early and nothing important gets lost between the design file and what actually ships.

Before Microsoft I spent three years at Vistex designing enterprise software used by over 100,000 people across 70 countries. These days most of my thinking is about AI and what it means to design agent behavior that feels legible and trustworthy rather than just impressive.
