Selected work

Tools & frameworks

Unique frameworks with proven impact

Complex projects reach the same kind of fork: several teams, one decision nobody owns. Part of my work is building the framework that settles it, and leaving it with the team as a tool they keep using.

AI Product Guardrails

Companies with several AI products end up with parallel teams deciding what each one may do, show and say. The framework turns those calls into a few shared ranges the company agrees on with teams and stakeholders.

Products can differ and still serve the same goal.

Try a simplified example: place a product on one range and see what it means.

Autonomy

How much an AI product does before a person steps in.

Pick a product, then place it on the range.

SuggestsActs alone

Agreed range, from 02 to 04. Place a product outside it to see what changes.

What this means for your AI product

    How could this bring impact to your product?

    I run this as a Workshop with product and design leads to help set a product vision. This is most effective when based on User Research to ensure you deliver the impact that’s needed.

    Connecting user centric strategy with crafted implementation

    Sweet Studio is the design practice of Eduardo Álvarez.

    Strategy usually fails on the way to being built. I work across that gap, from research and structure through to the design itself, for organizations with complex products and several audiences to serve at once. Most recently in healthcare, diagnostics and pharma.

    Twelve years across brand, product and strategy. Previously IDEO and Serviceplan Innovation.

    Based in Munich, working across EU and America.
