Clean, modern, human-centered design. Making highly complex systems intuitive, usable, and accessible. My background is in product and visual design, art history, architecture, photography, and marketing.
“If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.”
Design Process
My approach to product design is deeply rooted in the architectural design process. With a 'User First' mentality, I focus on structure and space planning which allows me to develop complex user flow and information architecture. I integrate design and style over these structures, drawing on user research and feedback to develop designs that work seamlessly with the structure below.
For me, product design is about more than a glossy interface, it is a way to engage the user. Design is a way to provide a little bit of delight; inviting users to dive a bit deeper and see just how much design can improve their lives. It’s about finding solutions to challenges that the users themselves didn’t even know they had while adding real, tangible value.
