HOW I WORK

I approach design with a balance of curiosity and structure — digging into the “why,” then building experiences that feel clear, intuitive, and human.




My goal is always the same:


simplify complexity and help users make confident decisions.

WHAT GUIDES MY WORK

Empathy with intention → I turn user needs into actionable design choices


Clarity over clutter → I reduce friction and improve usability


Iteration always → I test, refine, collaborate, and iterate until it works

MY GENERAL PROCESS

It's never linear!


1. Discover

Understand the problem through research, stakeholder goals, and competitive insights.


2. Define

Synthesize findings into clear pain points, priorities, and problem statements.


3. Design

Create user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity screens with strong hierarchy and interaction design.


4. Validate

Prototype, test, gather feedback, and iterate.


5. Communicate

Document decisions and deliver clear work.

HOW I COLLABORATE

I can work with cross-functional teams to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints. I’m comfortable presenting work, receiving critique, and iterating quickly.

WHAT I LOVE

I’m especially drawn to:


simplifying complex workflows


interaction design and usability-focused UI


& making design fun!

I bring structure, empathy, and curiosity to every project.
