Systems know who you are.

But they don’t remember you.

That’s where it breaks.
Context
Customer identity breaks across interactions.

Data is disconnected. Context doesn’t carry forward.

Each interaction starts from zero.
My Role
Principal Designer - Product Strategy & Systems.

I shaped direction across identity, trust, and customer memory. Defined outcomes. Aligned vision. Made it visible across leadership and external narratives.

Turning an abstract idea into a concrete direction.
Outcome
A platform story for Twilio’s AI shift.

Connected identity, trust, and customer context into one readable narrative.

Showed how AI could reduce friction, prevent fraud, and strengthen customer trust in the same system.

But what about fraud?

Fraudsters don’t just attack systems.

They imitate real customers.

One common scenario:

A limited-edition release creates urgency.

Fraudsters target loyal customers, trying to steal access and resell exclusive inventory on secondary marketplaces.

Using breached data, they connect Maya’s name to signals like:

  • card on file
  • loyalty status
  • one-click checkout

From the outside, the attempt may look like a real customer returning.

Fraudsters don’t need the full story.
They need just enough context to look real.

Fraudsters trick Maya through a phishing flow, capture access credentials, and attempt to return as her.

The system now has to answer a harder question: Is this still Maya — or someone using what they stole?

Stolen context

After a phishing attempt, they capture Maya’s credentials.

They access her password manager, and steal the OwlShoes passkey.

Now they try to return as her.

AI decides when to trust - and when to challenge

Customer memory gives AI the context to compare the claimed identity against the live session: device, location, carrier, phone line, and behavior.

When the pattern breaks, the experience changes.

AI is most valuable when it knows what to do next.

One signal, read in context — then turned into the right action with the least friction.

01
Recognize

Who is this, really?

02
Remember

What context already exists?

03
Interpret

What changed?

04
Decide
Reduce
Step up
Block
Notify
Outcome

More trust with less effort.

Recognize → Remember → Interpret → Decide — the loop behind every well-judged AI experience.
