I thrive in environments where I can navigate broad and fuzzy problem spaces and execute innovative, scalable solutions based on quick, but considered iterations.
Experience
My design approach is shaped by core values that guide me in both life and design:
q Crafted
Doing things well matters to me. I am ambitious when it comes to the quality I want to accomplish in my work. Over time, my aspiration of high-craft has shifted from just precise pixels and thorough handoff documentation towards the craft of impactful communication and of overcoming ambiguity in order to execute. I am excited to continue honing these skills!
m Systems-Thinking First
Systems thinking is all about keeping in mind that our actions, behaviors, and decisions have an impact on our community and our world. It's also about realizing that as humans, we are all connected and rely on each other. My commitment to practicing systems-thinking in my life translates to my approach to design and design strategy.
I Pragmatic
I firmly believe that designers should be committed to designing and shipping products and services that solve for real needs, while considering lasting ramifications. In my work, I seek to understand what real, constant-over-time, needs a user has. Therefore, I am biased towards designing for platforms that aim to pragmatically & ethically solve for real user needs.
p Curious
My curious nature seeks to understand how things work, how systems function, why things are the way they are - what led them to be this way? This constant curiosity drives me to connect and dialogue with others to better deeply understand the context of any design problem. I am constantly grateful that my work as a designer fully engages my deep-seated sense of curiosity and openness!
