Design Strategist who transforms complex challenges into elegant, scalable solutions. Expert in designing AI-assisted workflows, automations, and interactive tools that support creative, technical, and operational teams. My work spans sculpture and interactive installations, medical research, simulation design, and AI-assisted product development—unified by a focus on making abstract concepts tangible and complex systems accessible. Recent Projects: Built FlowFoundry, an AI-powered conversational assistant for project scoping that translates unstructured dialogue into structured technical specifications, diagrams, and roadmaps Developed AI-assisted production tools at Monolith, reducing quoting time and enabling data-driven decision-making across cross-functional teams Co-founded ConfiDental, designing hyper-realistic surgical simulation models with authentic haptic feedback, integrated into digital learning environments Conducted medical imaging research, creating patient-specific 3D pathology models that improved physician-patient communication in oncology settings Created large-scale sculptures from electron microscopy data, translating molecular biology into tangible forms Core Capabilities: Applied Generative AI (GPT, Claude, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Whisper) | AI Workflow Automation (Zapier, Make) | Development (HTML/CSS, Python scripting, AI-assisted prototyping) | Physical-Digital Integration | Use-Case Discovery & Requirements Translation | Technical Training & Stakeholder Onboarding | Systems Thinking & User-Centered Design Whether I'm designing human-centered tools, integrating AI into production systems, training teams on new technologies, building physical-digital simulations, or designing physical environments, my work is grounded in systems thinking, user-centered design, and collaborative problem-solving. 📍 Based in Salina, Kansas 🔗 Portfolio: https://hatchily.com/nw-portfolio
Building AI-powered tools and interactive experiences: Built FlowFoundry, an AI-powered conversational project scoping tool using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and OpenAI/Anthropic APIs; translates unstructured natural language into structured technical specifications, diagrams, risk assessments, and project roadmaps Designed and produced a generative character system for emotional-intelligence therapy tools, including 60+ AI-generated characters aligned to research-based emotional frameworks using Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Implemented proprietary web-builder platform generating recurring revenue Created interactive prototypes using AI-assisted development workflows
Used AI tools to rapidly prototype and build production systems that became central to operations: Built a construction materials calculator using AI-assisted development, reducing quoting time and supporting production forecasting across 20+ inputs Developed KPI dashboard and reporting generator covering 15-20 metrics across 5 cross-functional teams, enabling faster, data-driven decision-making Created automated shipping label system with QR traceability, reducing warehouse errors and shipment liability Designed custom GPT-based communication assistants using clinical communication protocols (SET model) Onboarded cross-functional teams on new AI-assisted workflows and automation systems Aligned engineering and vendor teams to deliver critical production equipment through structured communication, timelines, and requirements
Designed hyper-realistic surgical simulation models and integrated learning systems: Designed surgical training models using multi-density materials that replicated authentic haptic feedback of bone, gingiva, and periodontal ligament Built scalable production systems for surgical simulation models Designed, filmed, and produced surgical training modules using custom-built camera and micro-positioning rigs Developed interactive online surgical curriculum with assessment tools; supported students in achieving 0 → 100+ dental implants/year Combined physical simulation with digital learning pathways for comprehensive training experience
Designed and produced rapid prototypes using CAD/CAM software and 3D printing / CNC machines. Worked effectively alongside a team of engineers and designers to develop innovative solutions for clients. Developed custom software for micro-processor-based solutions. Managed contractors, vendors, and manufacturers to ensure product delivery and budget.
