Design Principles

Even as I'm constantly learning as a designer, there are a few core principles that have always been at the heart of my work.

1 Think at the systems level

Mapping out and understanding underlying relationships between people, systems, and problems is foundational for designing experiences that are deeply strategic, dynamic, and fulfill demonstrated needs.

2 Collaborate without ego

From forming hypotheses to prototyping end-to-end flows, design is done best when held in thoughtful and humble conversation with others.

3 Experiment as you build

Free-range creativity and testing hypotheses go hand in hand. Use data and metrics to inform and justify design decisions.

Free-range creativity and testing hypotheses go hand in hand. Balance quantitative data and qualitative behavioral insights to inform and direct design decisions, especially within contraints.

4 Remain responsible

Design is a powerful tool! Responsible wielding takes the form of constant and intentional centering of users. When you have to take a guess, make an educated one.

Stories

I’m a sucker for a good story, and derive inspiration from what I read, watch, and consume. I believe fiction is just as applicable to the real world as non-fiction, and am on a constant mission to find media that makes me cry. Here are a few all-time favorites!
