My beliefs, values and goals

pic.png

As a product designer and strategist, I focus on transforming how organizations design their products to manifest their mission, vision, and goals. I care about creating thoughtfully crafted, inclusive, accessible, functional, intuitive, and delightful products. I distill people's behavior through quantitative data and qualitative feedback to build evidence-based strategic design solutions that delight users and create a sustainable competitive advantage for the organization in the market. My approach deeply stresses problem reframing and storytelling, as the first problem statement is never the actual problem. 

 

You'll always find me asking: 'What matters to the people we are designing for?'

 

As a T-shaped designer and individual, I enjoy working on complex problems and challenging myself to create simple and functional solutions. I'm passionate about accessibility and inclusivity, and I am now learning sign language to see how I can better design for everyone.
