How I work

The practice behind the deliverables.

Fifteen years across regulated industries teaches you that the interface is rarely the hard part.

Discovery

Start with the workshop, not the wireframe

Every engagement opens with discovery workshops and stakeholder interviews — surfacing what business leaders, product owners and engineering teams each need before a single screen gets drawn.

Structure

Map the journey before you design the screen

Customer journey mapping, service blueprinting and task analysis come first, so the interaction model that follows is built on how work actually happens, not assumptions about it.

Systems

Build patterns the team can reuse

Enterprise design systems and UX governance standards outlast any single release — the goal is a set of reusable patterns other designers and engineers can build on with confidence.

Experience

Fifteen years, three roles, one throughline.
