Hi, I'm Darcy, a product designer specializing in 0-to-1 and AI experiences, finishing my MS at NYU. I'm currently at Opus Clip, designing editing flows for an AI video editor, building prototypes, running usability tests, and shaping the Beta release scope. Before that, I designed a 0-to-1 AI recruiting platform at Moka HR SaaS, where I built a calibration system for recruiter-AI collaboration that hit 43% adoption and took user satisfaction from 20% to 86%. I've also shipped e-commerce redesigns, mobile apps, and nonprofit products. What makes me stand out: I don't just put interfaces on AI, I design how humans and AI learn from each other. That's a different kind of UX thinking, and it's what I bring to every project.…Hi, I'm Darcy, a product designer specializing in 0-to-1 and AI experiences, finishing my MS at NYU.
