Process

Design that holds up under scrutiny

"I'm often brought into the high-stakes or undefined areas where UX judgment, clarity, and collaboration matter most."

I start with how the system actually works before I touch how it looks. The interface is the last thing I design, not the first.

How I work

01Understand the system before shaping the interface

02Clarify mental models before adding features

03Weigh tradeoffs — don't chase idealized solutions

04Design for real-world use, not just internal alignment

05Document decisions so the team can build and evolve confidently
