· PHILOSOPHY

I don't start with screens. I start by pressure-testing the problem, challenging assumptions, mapping flows, and exploring edges before the first pixel is drawn.

Translating ambiguity into products that feel inevitable. B2C, Healthtech, and the occasional ambitious zero-to-one.

Process

How I work

Every project starts with the people using it. I move from understanding to shipping in seven steps, and I use AI tools to move faster without skipping the thinking.

  1. Understand

    Align on the business goal, success metrics, and constraints, and review existing research.

  2. Observe

    Watch real users do the task today and map their workflow, including the workarounds.

  3. Define

    Turn what I learned into a clear problem statement and success criteria, written into the spec.

  4. Explore

    Sketch flows and several options, then prototype quickly to compare them.

  5. Validate

    Test with users and check feasibility with engineering early, then change what needs changing.

  6. Refine

    Bring the design to high fidelity in the design system and walk engineering through it.

  7. Measure

    Track adoption and task success after launch, and feed it into the next round.
