when tasked with a challenge i go deep into the problem so i can understand the core problem i am trying to resolve. Knowing this helps me make informed decisions and builds enthusiasm for creating the best experience.
-
as a designer, my goal is not to eliminate complexity or friction, but rather create a clear, intuitive and understandable product experience. At times, this may mean adding thoughtful complexity.
-
it is easy to become over confident in my ideas and opinions. Rigorous iteration and testing helps bring clarity and confidence to my work.
-
Interviewing stakeholders. Undersatnding the company/business objectives and needs.
Understanding more about the problem space, considering potential solutions and learning more about the customer.
Crafting design principles to help guide project and experience decisions, and to ensure alignment amongst the team.
-
Diving deep into the user journey and exploring user stories, user personas, channels and user decisions making.
diverging wide and exploring the range of possible solutions. Testing, iterating, discussing and working through the problem.
Refining a chosen direction and polishing the visual design, preparing designs for engineering, hand-off and documenting descions made.
-
Working closely with engineering and product to ensure a successful handoff and implementation process.
Just because a project is live doesn’t mean that the work is done. I therefore monitor the project's performance in order to investigate & discover ideas for improvements.

I am a bit of a process nerd. I love learning new ways of doing things and introduce them to the projects i'm working on or the companies i work for. I am a big proponent on the Design Sprint and lean UX methodologies.
I like to create products and discover new processes to improve my team's work. I never miss a chance to evangelize UX and I always try to be involved in the decision making discussions.
In my free time i like to build pet projects, paint, play the violin and hang-out with friends and colleagues.
