My Philosophy
My Philosophy
I design research-driven solutions across disciplines...
Every role I've had, I walked into a mess no one had untangled. A thousand pages of undocumented skating curriculum, a registration system failing three user types at once, an AI product with no design infrastructure. My work starts before the interface: finding the actual problem buried in the noise, then building the structure that makes it navigable. The polished screen is the last 10%. The other 90% is figuring out what should exist at all.
I design for trust in products and systems in the era of AI power.
The real question isn't only "what is the user trying to do". It's "who is in control right now, and how does that shift between human and system." Designing AI features for finance professionals, I learned the barrier wasn't usability, it was trust: people won't act on what they can't verify. I design the reasoning, the sources, and the moments of human confirmation that let people rely on AI with confidence.
I turn ambiguity into shared understanding across teams....
I've always worked as the sole designer with no established process, which means my job is to create clarity, not just receive it. I translate vague direction into structured systems - design tokens, component libraries, content standards - that a cross-functional team can actually ship from.
I think of the bigger picture and the people often left out of it...
I pay attention to who a system excludes. Non-specialist staff, users with accessibility needs, newcomers navigating an unfamiliar country. As someone who's been the person locked out of a confusing system, I build for the edges, not just the default user.
