APPROACH

My design approach thrives in a fast, start-up like environment, focused on user-centric and data-driven principles. I employ a flexible methodology, capable of handling a range of tasks simultaneously, from product ideation to long-term integration planning.

My strategy is built around an iterative cycle of discovery, design, delivery, deployment and measurement, all underpinned by an Insight—Design—Learn loop.

Embracing agile methodologies, and positive disruption, I strike a balance between quality and speed, continuously iterating for fast improvements. Collaborating closely with creators, developers, product owners and leadership, I focus on aligning meaningful and impactful experiences (off and online) with tangible business goals.
