Approach
Go wide
The special sauce I bring to any project is a unique ability to link seemingly unrelated ideas, finding inspiration across disciplines, subject matters and platforms. Solutions can come from anyone and anywhere, so collaboration and an open mind are key to ensuring the best ideas are heard.
Move fast
and break things
Working across agile product cycles, I understand the importance of innovation at pace. But efficiency doesn't have to come at the expense of quality. I strive for a balance between speed and stability, focusing early on validating quick wins that will add the most value for users and creating scaleable design systems that grow with a platform over time.
design for
the Other
Design for those on the margins improves quality of outcomes for all between. Empathy and inclusivity build resilience, not barriers. And by endeavouring to understand the broad range of perspectives, challenges and aspirations of a wide range of users, I strive to build better outcomes from the outside in.
