My Design Principles

Start with the problem, not the solution

Start with the problem, not the solution

Every project begins by understanding the real problem. I dig deep into user needs, constraints, and context before touching solutions. Clarity upfront leads to cleaner, more effective design decisions.

Have a mindset of validate to learn, not to justify

Have a mindset of validate to learn, not to justify

Assumptions are dangerous. I rely on iteration, user feedback, and quick testing to learn what actually works. Validation isn't for proving myself right โ€” it's for uncovering the truth.

What's good for the user is good for the business

What's good for the user is good for the business

Design must serve both sides. By advocating for users while understanding business goals and metrics, I create experiences that deliver real value and measurable impact.

Know your constraints and design to ship

Know your constraints and design to ship

Great design ships. I identify technical, timeline, and team constraints early, collaborate closely, and design solutions that can be executed cleanly โ€” not just imagined beautifully.

"Good design isn't decoration โ€” it's clarity, problem-solving, and making life easier for real people."
