How I Work
Research-Led Design
I talk to real people before I make decisions. From moderating usability sessions to facilitating UX workshops with first-time digital clients, research is not a phase I check off. It helps inform my design decisions and create usable products.
Clarity in Complexity
Whether it is regulated industries, sensitive user populations, legal constraints, or nervous stakeholders, I gravitate toward the hard problems and strive to uncover the clearest path through them.
Bridging Design and Development
A background in development means I design with technical constraints in mind from the start. When a developer says something is not possible, I can usually offer an alternative that is. That fluency makes me a faster collaborator and a more precise designer.
Always Evolving
Throughout my career I have continued to push myself to learn and evolve. From staying up to date on the latest prototyping tools to understanding emerging trends in product development, growth has always meant finding smarter ways to work. That curiosity has led me to AI. I now regularly use tools like Claude Code, Figma Make, and Lovable to move faster, prototype more freely, and explore ideas I would not have had the bandwidth to try before. However, despite how much the landscape shifts, I want the user to stay at the center of everything I do. That is how I know I am shipping a meaningful and usable product.
