My Approach
Over the years, I’ve worked across different industries, teams, and projects, each one shaping the way I approach design. No two challenges are the same, so I’ve learned to adapt while staying true to a few core principles that shape my process. This approach is always evolving, influenced by new experiences, collaborations, and lessons from each role and opportunity.

Before jumping into solutions, I work to understand the problem and the people experiencing it. This involves asking the right questions to the right people, conducting user research, and identifying the underlying needs.

When I feel comfortable with my grasp on the problem, I begin to identify what additional efforts are needed to begin formulating a solution. These can vary but include technical deep dives, workflows, or further research.
