Mission

I believe in the power of design to make a positive impact in the world. This motivates me to translate inputs into innovative ideas + those ideas into captivating designs.

My work follows a divergent exploratory process combined with a keen ability to think iteratively. I aim to uplift craft, inspire humility + drop as many Oxford commas as possible.

Process

See how I've translated ideas + needs into reality. Learn more about the framework I use for successful product designs.

01

Think

Strive to be curious not judgmental. Adopt the beginner's mindset. Be water. Embrace empathy. Whatever it takes to intimately understand the problem.

02

Make

Thinking alone doesn't uncover everything, building products reveals angles, friction + holes. This is where mockups, lofi + hifi prototyping, stress testing all come into play.

03

Check

"Design with people, not for them." Regardless of your methodology, designs, experiments + hypotheses can be de-risked with efficient testing + research.

*I have adopted this framework from Austin Knight, which I discuss more in Process.
