About me
I’ve been designing, and learning, since the days when Photoshop was one of the only tools we had for layout and visual design. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for process, teamwork, clear communication, and collaboration.
These are the principles that ground how I work as a designer. I don’t see design as an artifact or end product, but as a facilitation tool to help achieve meaningful outcomes.
Of course, we deliver screens, prototypes, and experiences, but they’re just the visible outcomes. The real value lies in the problem-solving and collaborative process that leads us there. I ground my work and collaborations with intentionality.
I think critically about what matters, what works, and what doesn’t. I care about doing things on purpose, not out of habit.
My approach
I care about clarity, craft, and continually improving, both in my own work and in how I support others. My instinct is to cut through the noise and make things make sense. I’m drawn to big ideas, but I like to stress-test them, refine them, and ensure they actually work in practice. Work should be enjoyable. I take the job seriously, but not myself. Curiosity, play, and a bit of experimentation are qualities that enable good ideas to happen.
TL;DR
▍Clarity, craft, and growth guide how I work.
▍Focus on big ideas, but stress-tested.
How I think about work
I value ownership and initiative, taking action without waiting for permission or getting stuck in endless planning. Momentum matters. Strategy and execution should stay connected, not live in separate silos. At the same time, I am committed to quality. Shipping fast is great, but not if it means putting out half-baked ideas. People expect great design and great experiences, and they’ll move on if they don’t get them. Execution matters.
TL;DR
▍Bias toward action, without sacrificing quality.
▍Strategy and execution work best together.
How I communicate
Communication is one of my core values. I try to say things without a lot of fluff and clearly. I focus on simplicity, but care about depth, meaning, and precision. I also believe communication works best when it’s grounded in kindness and levity. My goal is to make the complex feel clear, the abstract feel concrete, and the theoretical feel useful. I’m not a fan of vague, high-level advice. I rather prefer applicable insights. I strive to share things that spark curiosity, and challenge assumptions.
TL;DR
▍Clear, direct, and grounded communication.
▍Make the complex feel clear.
Anything is possible with the right team
The right team changes everything. When you’ve got people who know their craft, communicate openly, and genuinely respect each other, you can build great things, often faster than expected. But it’s not just about talent. The best outcomes come from clear priorities, honest feedback, diverse perspectives and the discipline to say no to distractions, allowing us to focus on what truly matters. We can build great things while embracing mutual trust, and the willingness to challenge ideas.
TL;DR
▍Great teams move fast, stay focused, and speak honestly.
▍Talent counts, but trust, and clarity count more.
Leadership through support, challenge, and action
I believe leadership is about creating the conditions for people to do their best work. That means support when it’s needed, challenge when it matters, and a steady push toward action. I hold a high bar, but I don’t believe in throwing people in the deep end without backup. Great work comes from high standards paired with trust, honest feedback, and real guidance. To me, leadership isn’t about control; it’s about setting direction, clearing roadblocks, and helping others grow along the way.
TL;DR
▍Supportive, high-trust leadership with high standards.
▍Lead with direction, not authority, help people thrive.
