01. Above all, empathy

We design for real people. Our mission is to advocate for what they need, what frustrates them, and what brings them joy and to carry those truths into every decision we make.

02. Vision leads. AI accelerates.

AI can move our work forward, but only vision sets the course. Make AI a collaborator—always humming in the background—while we stay curious, a little messy, and fully human.

03. Bias for action

I believe in moving quickly from thinking to making, to sketches, frameworks, journeys, and prototypes to reduce ambiguity and accelerate decision making.

04. Bring the hustle

The first idea is often the easiest. We're not here for easy. Were here to push the boundaries of what's possible, driven by a deep passion for our craft, to innovate with fearless abandon.

05. Relentlessly simplify

Complexity is the enemy of intuition. Eliminate the superfluous and ensure every element serves a purpose. Our designs should feel effortlessly elegant and deceptively simple.

06. Shared ownership

Take full ownership of the work. Don't wait for someone else to do it for you. Care about every decision, pixel, interaction, line of code. We're all custodians of the end-to-end experience.

I’m a design leader who loves setting vision and bringing it to life through hands-on problem solving. I lead work from ambiguous starting points to clear, thoughtful outcomes. Agency life gave me a fast-twitch muscle to dive into complex problems, rally teams around a shared vision, and move quickly without sacrificing craft. Whether I’m shaping a product roadmap, crafting an experience vision, pixel-pushing interface details, or guiding a team through the messy middle, my focus is always on making the work strong and the team proud.
