B2B Lead Generation · Product & Platform Design

• Designed a lead-scoring system that makes lead quality and urgency legible at a glance, so client sales teams know which leads to answer immediately and which can wait — replacing guesswork with a clear, defensible signal.
• Designed workflow tooling for AI-calling agents — mapping call logic, branching, and handoff states into a configurable interface.
• Designed and built the company website end-to-end — information architecture, visual design, and front-end implementation.
