ABOUT
Over the last 14 years I have worked on all aspects of a digital product, from rough ideas on paper to complete usable products, from interface design to product strategy from blue sky conceptualization to thin slice solutioning, from creating user journey flows to information architecture, from defining key product metrics to growth hacking.
One of the things I’ve noticed is that building a product is a journey, it is never done and everything can always be made better.
The impetus to make things better with good design, to me, is fundamental and this is what I strive to do, every day and each waking hour. Design just doesn't mean what a product looks like and feels like. Design is how a product works from the veneer to the bolts and nuts.
