Design can be transformational

I believe that design goes beyond aesthetics. To design is to be intentional. To be thoughtful. To care. To design is to listen and pay attention. It's seeing the world through someone else's eyes. It's finding balance between form and function. It's recognizing the deep responsibility that comes with shaping experiences that can resonate and have impact on people's lives. It's the pursuit of making something not just seen, but felt. To design is to leave a mark, to shape the world in ways big and small.

Process

Lean UX, Agile UX, Design Thinking, and human-centered design all aim for one thing: delivering impactful outcomes. I favor a process that leads with empathy, is open and inclusive, encourages experimentation and iteration, and relies on data and timely decision-making to achieve meaningful results.
