Approach
I work across disciplines, but the method stays simple: understand deeply, make deliberately, test honestly and improve continuously.
Clarity before code
Define the real problem, the audience and the measure of success before choosing tools.
Built for reality
Design for unreliable networks, modest devices and the full range of human ability.
One coherent craft
Product strategy, visual design and engineering should reinforce the same idea.
Leave things better
Document the decisions, share the learning and make the next iteration easier.
