Working methodology
AI-Native Design Practice
Three leverage frameworks I use to multiply design impact across large, complex organizations. Not theory — operational tools built from the actual work.
Compression
Stop Chatting. Start Directing.
Turn AI from a conversation partner into an execution engine.
Set the Contract
Tell the AI what done looks like before you start — artifact, format, constraint, destination.
Front-Load Context
Everything the AI needs arrives in the first message. Not drip-fed across a conversation.
Checkpoint, Don't Chat
After the first output, you're an editor — not a conversation partner. Redirect, refine, approve.
Match the Mode
Single-shot, draft, synthesis, or exploration. The right mode before you start saves hours.
Amplification
Think Wider. Decide Faster.
Extend your thinking capacity across four operations that used to take days.
Diverge
Generate 5–8 genuinely distinct approaches, not variations on the same idea.
Pressure-Test
Systematically attack your strategy from every stakeholder's perspective before the review meeting.
Translate
Adapt one strategy for multiple audiences from a single source of truth.
Project
Map second and third-order consequences across viewer behavior, advertiser response, platform trust, and internal precedent.
Multiplication
Build Once. Lead Everywhere.
Design AI-powered systems that carry your strategic judgment into every room you're not in.
Knowledge Layer
Codify your framework — quality axes, decision principles, evaluation criteria — into a structured system prompt.
Interaction Layer
A guided input flow that returns structured quality guidance as if you were in the room giving a crit.
Evolution Layer
Modular architecture that stays current as your strategy evolves — update one axis without touching others.
Feedback Loop
When people override the tool's guidance, that signal tells you where your framework has gaps.
These frameworks emerged from real work — from trying to create leverage in situations where individual craft wasn't sufficient. They're the operating system I reach for when the design challenge is also an organizational one.
