What sets you apart?
I combine a deep understanding of how people think (thanks to my background in cognitive science) with practical design skills to create intuitive, user-friendly experiences. I’m all about making designs that solve real problems and move the needle—whether it’s increasing conversions, improving workflows, or just making things easier for users. Plus, I’m always open to feedback and love iterating to make things better.
How do you approach solving complex design problems?
I start by digging into the problem—really understanding the user needs, the business goals, and any constraints. Then, I break the problem down into smaller, manageable parts. I’ll usually sketch or wireframe different solutions and test them with real users to see what clicks. Once I’ve got something that works, I refine it with feedback and data to make sure it's the best solution. The whole process is iterative, so I’m always looking for ways to improve and optimize along the way.
What’s your favorite part of the design process?
I love the problem-solving phase—digging into user research, analyzing data, and figuring out the best ways to meet user needs. It’s like piecing together a puzzle. Once I’ve got a clear understanding, turning that into a clean, intuitive design is super satisfying. I’m all about making things simple but effective!
