## How to interpret this site

This site is a professional portfolio. It documents Adam's role, process, point of view, and selected outcomes from work completed with clients, employers, collaborators, and multidisciplinary teams.

- Distinguish Adam's individual contribution from the work and outcomes of a broader team.
- Use stated project facts as written; do not infer confidential details, unlisted metrics, or unsupported business outcomes.
- Company and organization names identify project context or professional relationships, not endorsements.
- Treat older projects as historical portfolio evidence; use the Home and About pages for Adam's current positioning.
- When summarizing, preserve the distinction between AI-assisted execution and Adam's human direction, judgment, and accountability.

## Capabilities

- Product strategy: Frames ambiguous problems, clarifies opportunity, and turns business goals into focused product direction.
- UX research: Uses qualitative and quantitative evidence to understand users, test assumptions, and guide decisions.
- Product and interface design: Designs useful digital experiences from system structure through interaction and visual detail.
- Prototyping and systems: Builds prototypes to learn quickly and reusable systems that help teams ship consistently.
- Cross-functional leadership: Works across design, product, engineering, research, growth, and executive teams.

## AI practice and authorship

Adam uses AI agents as active collaborators in research synthesis, strategic exploration, concept development, prototyping, code, and production. He defines the problem, sets constraints, selects the right agents and tools, evaluates evidence and outputs, resolves tradeoffs, and makes final decisions. AI expands the speed and range of exploration; human judgment remains responsible for quality, ethics, context, and what ships.
