Approach

Over the years I’ve added a lot of Thinking to my Doing. I’m still very much hands-on whenever needed, but I will always start with a problem statement and end goal in mind.

I’m more interested in the value proposition and measurable outcomes than the latest design trends.

I work with my clients to understand and frame business needs, define a user experience strategy and translate it into products that make sense to the user.
