A former Salesforce engineer with three decades of human-centered design, he designs how people and AI systems work together and leads the build through production. He is based in Makati City, Philippines and works with global teams. **Page statement:** AI products people can direct. I find the problem, design the solution, build it into production, and measure whether it worked. One person, the whole arc. From print campaigns in the ’90s to production AI today, the principle never changed: understand what humans need, design the experience first, then ship the system that serves it at scale. ## Highlights - **30+** — Years across print, digital, enterprise UX, and production AI - **F500** — Enterprise experience including Salesforce, Parsons, and Egis - **03** — AI products: Vector, Hive, and Radar - **100%** — Your infrastructure, your data, your application code --- ## Site Structure The site is a single page.

The next move should be visible. - **Frame:** Define the decision before choosing the model. 12 dimensions - **Design:** Make every score explain itself. No black boxes - **Orchestrate:** Turn the score into a coordinated next step. Visible routing logic - **Ship:** Move from definition to production. 60-day build - **Own:** Leave with the system, not a dependency. 100% ownership - **Hive** (https://www.pixelmojo.io/hive) - **Human need:** Specialized agents keep losing the thread. Context should travel. - **Frame:** Treat shared memory as infrastructure. One intelligence layer - **Design:** Give each role focus without creating silos. Specialized roles - **Orchestrate:** Coordinate work across every transition. Unified coordination - **Ship:** Put the agent system into real workflows. Production-ready - **Own:** Keep control of the intelligence layer. 100% ownership - **Radar** (https://www.pixelmojo.io/platform) - **Human need:** AI can’t recommend a brand it can’t understand. Find the signal. - **Frame:** Separate monitoring from diagnosis. 04 major platforms - **Design:** Turn findings into an action path. Monitor what. Fix why. - **Orchestrate:** Run the evidence in parallel. 13 tools - **Ship:** Make the first answer fast. 60 seconds - **Own:** Build visibility you can keep improving. Continuous signal --- ## Selected systems ### Strategy is only real when it ships. Three production systems. Each starts with a human decision, makes the logic visible, and leaves the client with an asset—not a dependency. - **Vector** — Points to the next move. Vector replaces slow, inconsistent lead qualification with transparent scoring across 12 dimensions. Every routing decision shows its work—no black boxes. https://www.pixelmojo.io/vector - **Hive** — Shares the memory. Hive gives specialized agents a shared intelligence layer. Sales knows what support learned. HR can hand off to IT. Context survives every transition. https://www.pixelmojo.io/hive - **Radar** — Finds the signal. Radar began as a spreadsheet run by hand. It now runs a 13-tool audit across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, tracing what is wrong so teams can fix why. https://www.pixelmojo.io/platform --- ## My growth design playbook ### From findings to verified impact. One accountable lead carries the work from observation to production, then measures whether it improved. > A finding is evidence. A recommendation is intent. A shipped change is progress. Verified improvement is value. - **01 · Diagnose:** Sit with the people doing the work. Run the manual version first and learn where the friction is real. - **02 · Prioritize:** Frequency × time saved × reversibility. Business impact wins over technical elegance. - **03 · Design & ship:** Move from Figma to production as one arc. Deterministic first; AI only where judgment earns its place. - **04 · Verify:** Remeasure the same problem after launch. Trace every call so failures become diagnosable, then rare. - **05 · Compound:** Turn wins into patterns, playbooks, systems, and people who no longer need me. ### Selected impact Operational outcomes, shown with their context. - **3,000+** — Paid Radar audits across 100+ users - **14% → 0.3%** — Radar failure rate after tracing and evaluations - **60–70%** — Approximate manual content, research, and reporting work removed in a global SaaS operation - **4 wks → 1** — Page production after a 40+ component design system --- ## Ways to work together ### Two paths. One accountable lead. Work directly with Lloyd for strategic leadership. Ship through Pixelmojo when the strategy needs to become production software. ### Strategic advisory (Work directly with Lloyd) Senior design leadership without the full-time commitment. I embed with your team to drive AI strategy, elevate design culture, and translate vision into executive buy-in. - Fractional Head of Design: 3–6 months - Strategic retainer: Ongoing - Intensive workshop: 1–2 days ### Product execution (Ship through Pixelmojo) When strategy needs to become software. Pixelmojo takes AI-powered products from concept to deployment—fixed scope, fixed timeline, and you own what we build. - AI product development: Full stack - Multi-agent architecture: Production - Your infrastructure: No lock-in ### Where I create leverage - **Growth & Conversion** — Experience strategy, CRO, and experimentation across homepages, pricing, and product flows—measured against pipeline, not opinion. - **Product & Experience Systems** — Complex products, scalable design systems, and the delivery discipline that keeps what ships aligned with what was designed. - **AI Products & Agents** — Agentic products, customer-facing agents, multi-agent orchestration, evaluations, and the governance required to trust them. ### Detailed service offerings 01. Human-Centered Growth Design — Audit the product, redesign the critical flows, and define a KPI framework that ties experience decisions to growth. 02. Enterprise AI Strategy — Opportunity assessment, phased roadmap, ROI model, and vendor-agnostic guidance grounded in real organizational constraints. 03. Design Systems at Scale — Component architecture, tokens, legacy migration, and adoption plans that make quality repeatable across teams. 04.
