Why me?
๐ Curiosity
And that's a feature, not a bug. I don't start designing until I actually understand the problem which means fewer revisions and better outcomes
๐ Evidence
User surveys, usability tests, competitive analysis I use evidence to make the case for design decisions, not just plain intuition and validation
๐งฉ real systems
I've redesigned live products used by millions inside actual orgs with brand standards and stakeholders. I know how to deliver without blowing up what exists
โ๏ธ Mum โ SFo
Different cities, different cultures, different industries. That range is what makes my work human not just functional, not just polished
My approach
01 โ understand
Start with people
I spend more time understanding the problem than designing the solution. Surveys, interviews, competitive analysis all before Figma opens
03 โ design
Prove it, then build it
Every design decision I make has a reason behind it. I test, iterate, and refine until the solution earns its place
02 โ question
find the real problem
Good design starts with the right problem. I ask uncomfortable questions early so we're not solving the wrong thing beautifully
04 โ deliver
Design that ships
I work within constraints brand systems, stakeholders, live products. I make meaningful changes without blowing up what exists
