Design Principles
The beliefs that guide how I work.
-
1
Clarity over cleverness
The best design solutions are obvious in hindsight. If it needs explaining, it needs rethinking.
-
2
Research is the work
Understanding people isn't a phase before design — it's woven through every decision.
-
3
Systems thinking first
Every screen is part of a larger whole. Design the relationship, not just the moment.
-
4
Constraints are a gift
The best work I've done has come from working within tight constraints, not despite them.
About Me
I'm a design executive with a background spanning product strategy, research, and hands-on craft. I've led UX organizations at Series B startups and Fortune 500 companies alike — building the teams, systems, and culture that let design do its best work.
My approach is rooted in clarity: understanding what people actually need, what the business is trying to achieve, and finding the elegant overlap between the two.
