Working Principles
01

Know your stuff

Six years across startups and enterprise have given me deep command of design systems, interaction patterns, and research methodology. I'm analytical and fast to ramp — I reach a working knowledge of any new domain quickly.

02

Be easy to work with

Great products come from collaboration and candid feedback. I seek it out — from designers, business, and engineering — and give it straight in return. I'm friendly and quick with a joke, but I hold my ground on the decisions that matter.

03

Get it done

I've shipped products used by millions. I work in the 5Ds process and Agile: ship an MVP, then iterate fast and often.
