Crafted execution
Everything from the smallest detail to the bigger vision impacts the user experience. My work is rooted in traditional design methodologies: layout, typography and visual hierarchy. It's even more important to know what problem you're solving. I have a natural curiosity when it comes to human computer interaction and how products fit into people’s lives and their workflows. I’m committed to raising the bar and advocating for product excellence. From concept to code, I help teams create meaningful experiences through the power of technology and human centered design.
Creative collaboration
Part of my design process involves building relationships and fostering a positive approach to collaboration that’s also fun. As an individual contributor I use a protocol of openness and flexibility with others, where everyone feels comfortable exploring possibilities and doing their best work through regular feedback, experimentation and idea sharing. Diverse teams build better products.
Paths forward
Design in conjunction with a process of research, analysis and iteration can help companies visualize solutions that drive product and service innovation. By understanding limitations, uncovering constraints and working through ambiguity my work points the way toward possible positive outcomes. In general the work that I do isn’t merely problem solving, it’s also knowing what problems to avoid. Good design is a competitive advantage and together we can create beautiful experiences that exceed expectations.
Systems minded
Using consistent patterns, standard controls and common platform interactions all contribute to an app experience that feels familiar and is easy to use. I’ve worked with design organizations and platform teams to implement best practices for reusable components in order to reduce the production cost of building new features, speed up time to market and lower cognitive load.
More than UI
An interface should be clear and legible, sometimes almost invisible. Design isn’t just more UI, it’s how things look, what it does and how it works. By challenging the status quo, asking the right questions and validating product ideas along the way we can work towards addressing personal needs in the market and at the same time meet company goals. As we uncover assumptions and examine processes we will begin to build something great that's more than an app or merely software, we'll generate a design culture and a way of working.
