I’m a creative, people-first service and experience designer with 15+ years of transforming complex programmes into end-to-end services that leaders, boards, and delivery teams can understand, fund, and scale. I’m successful because empathy is where I start, not where I stop, to deliver quality products, services and experiences that make a positive impact.
My work bridges design thinking, service design, and systems thinking principles applied to AI enablement for products, workflows and teams. In practice, I lead service, experience, and learning design across tech-forward, AI-heavy programmes, often as the first and only designer in the room. In the past, I have helped several emerging teams and startups build a shared practice and find smarter, more inclusive ways through their most ambiguous challenges, so I’m confident as hire #1 or leading a growing team.

Nolan S. Code, MBA, MSc, is the founder and executive director of the Atlanta AI & Robotics Initiative (AARI). A former Microsoft AI and cloud specialist, U.S. Army veteran, and exited founder, he focuses on the infrastructure powering the AI economy: data centers, cloud, robotics, physical AI, and the workforce required to operate them.

Through AARI, Nolan builds hands-on labs, paid apprenticeships, and industry partnerships that move students beyond the classroom and into real infrastructure environments.

His broader thesis, “Own the Stack,” argues that communities should not simply provide the land, power, and talent behind AI. They should participate in the infrastructure, ownership, and economic value being created around it.

His doctrine is simple: operators, not observers.

Ronald Harmsen has a slightly old-fashioned belief: the software you ship today should still be running, and still be a pleasure to work on, ten years from now.

Some of those partnerships are now past two decades.
