For me, great design starts with taking the time to get to know the user and their goals in context, representing them with the highest integrity. The interfaces I create are inherently scaleable and consistent, made up of design system components skillfully crafted using atomic design principles. My process ends with streamlined implementation, where I take an active role in working through interactions and building out designs with developers. I make a point to strive for excellence together rather than an unrealistic level of perfection alone.

Staying current and learning from others is key to my process improvement, so I take design trainings and attend conferences regularly. My latest studies are focused on applying accessibility and gamification to my work to ensure that my designs are both inclusive and engaging. Whenever I'm not working on my craft, I go out to find inspiration in nature, people, and architecture, usually through hiking or traveling. Or I might just stay in with a good video game and a cup of tea.
