How I work

I combine vision with progress

I bridge the gap between the ideal future and the present by prioritizing and exploring. Using design sprints, I create visionary targets with low-fidelity designs and implement lean UX to steadily achieve the blue-sky vision.

My design is practical

The double diamond framework is an excellent process ideal.
But all projects come with nuances that require adaptation. It's up to the designer to use the process to simplify the problem, not to complicate it.

My ideas are fueled by people

User empathy and insights from the people I work with are the fuel of my ideas.
I thrive in creative spaces where ideas and feedback are inquisitive rather than prescriptive.
