Design with Strategy and Creativity

My process is simple and iterative, built on the Double Diamond. I discover what’s really going on, define the right problem, develop ideas through quick exploration and testing, and deliver a clear, polished design that effectively communicates the message.

01.

DISCOVERY & ALIGNMENT

I start by partnering with the product team and key stakeholders to understand the business goals, user needs, and constraints. I run quick discovery (interviews, audits, data review) and align early on success metrics so we’re solving the right problem and not guessing.

DEFINE THE PROBLEM

I synthesize what we learn into clear problem statements, journeys, and requirements. This is where I validate assumptions with PMs, developers, and QA, so the scope is realistic, edge cases are covered, and we have a shared direction before design moves fast.

IDEATION & PROTOTYPING

I explore multiple directions, then quickly prototype the strongest options. I bring product, engineering, and QA into early reviews to catch feasibility issues early and keep momentum, so we iterate with purpose, not endless revisions.
