My Design Philosophy
💡
Gain Understanding,
unlock wisdom
I believe in total immersion and understanding of a user's point of view, this requires deep product thinking and collaborating with others to find clear solutions to complex design problems.
🤝🏽
There's no "I" in team, collaboration always
I invite cross functional stakeholders into the UX process early, and collaborate with to design the best solutions
🚀
Products should be built to last and to thrive
I believe in product outcomes and let long term goals and desired metrics drive my design, this helps me produce thoughtful, strategic designs that scale
Public speaking about design, publications & articles
I love to share my insights and journey of becoming a designer with others and helping
to facilitate design conversations that help the next generation of designers grow.
Available for speaking events and collaborations 😁
