I .

I'm currently interning as a web designer at the City of Vienna, where my work focuses on product development. During my internship I've been using agentic AI tools to simplify our workflows, which lets us bring products from idea to release faster without lowering the quality. I am always open to questions or enquiries.


AI designer.

Agents, voice, prompting, interfaces, refusals, generative identity, prototyping, research.

The (Short) AI Manifesto©2026 written by Dario

Every product with a model inside is a conversation. A prompt is an interface. A pause is an interface. A refusal is an interface. Most of AI design happens in places nobody screenshots: the second before an answer, the sentence after a mistake, the moment an agent decides to ask instead of act. I design those places. Not to make machines feel human, but to make them behave — clearly, briefly, honestly. Good AI design says less, waits longer, and knows when it doesn't know.
