Get to know more about me and my role as a product designer.

My design principles

🗺 Visual communication

I use visual means to communicate my ideas and design rationale. Mapping experiences and storytelling are my go-to techniques.

⏱ Management

I value time and effort, so I put extra care into setting realistic expectations about when I can deliver my projects.

Appreciate that you take the time to understand what it is that needs to be done but are practical about the fact that there are legal/technical implications that may drive some aspects of the design.
