Making software feel less like software.

I like to make things that make sense. I can understand code and have a life too!

Design philosophy

Business comes first. Design has to create value for both the business and the people using the product. Stay curious about how products get made. New tools matter when they expand what good designers can create. Craft is in the details. The smallest decisions shape how a product feels. Structure before beauty. Make the product understandable before making it beautiful. Design is a process. Good products emerge through exploration, iteration, feedback, and refinement.
