The design process
behind my work

1. Find the real problem

I look past the request to the root cause, because the stated problem is rarely the real one.

2. Gather data

I pull from tickets, calls, session recordings and competitors so decisions rest on patterns, not opinions.

3. Define what success looks like

I turn findings into clear user goals with measures, even when no one has set them yet.

4. Prototype and test early

I put real prototypes in front of users quickly and let the results disprove my own assumptions.

5. Make the hard tradeoffs

I design for an ideal world, then trim to an MVP that can ship fast and still work for users.

6. Ship, measure, improve

I track outcomes after launch, close gaps fast, and iterate until the experience fulfills the vision.
