Hi 👋 I'm Bart.

I'm a Principal Product Designer focused on building thoughtful, responsive systems from early research to high-fidelity prototyping. Whether it's mapping flows in Figma, shaping motion in After Effects, or bringing ideas to life in Framer, I stay close to the work at every stage.


At Zoom, I design agentic workflows that support users without getting in their way. I believe AI should be contextual, proactive, and grounded in the rhythm of real collaboration. My work explores how agents take on meaningful roles by adapting to constraints, context, and the values of the teams they serve.


Design isn’t magic. It is a process and I stay in it from start to finish. No blind hand-offs, no black boxes. Just clear thinking and honest execution that turns ideas into systems that people can actually use.

Agent Role & Constraint

(patent pending)

A.R.C. is a reasoning diplomacy layer and behavioral operating system for multi-agent intelligence.

It orchestrates ensembles of specialized agents through defined roles and adaptive constraints, mediating how they reason, influence one another, and express tone.

By managing memory, modulation, and accountability at runtime, A.R.C. keeps agent behavior coherent, transparent, and contextually appropriate—whether in conversation, collaboration, or autonomous action.

A.R.C. turns agent swarms into interpretable societies of reasoning, where intelligence remains dynamic yet dependable, expressive yet governed.
