How I explore and execute ideas

My approach to design

Problem solving through problem framing

Thoughtfully framing challenges provides a foundation to make informed decisions and take intelligent risks. I am comfortable with the ambiguity and solution juggling involved with complex problem solving.

Illuminating users' needs during their morning routines by reviewing maps drawn by interviewees (for Sol).

Materializing ideas early, and iterating often

I quickly materialize ideas in my process to facilitate 'talk back' with concepts and inspire new connections among them. Prototyping also reduces risk while converging on design decisions.

Collaborating through visual communication and true dialogues

Pardon the buzzword, but synergy is real. We have the greatest potential when we work together over nascent ideas. Nothing fosters co-creation better than making ideas visual.
