Approach

Good design starts with insight, not opinion.

I lead with curiosity by testing hypotheses with real people, working openly with diverse teams, and staying adaptable when the direction shifts.

01 Insight is key Start with insight to form hypotheses you can actually test.
02 Teamwork Diverse colleagues bring more angles on the same problem.
03 Open communication Sharing work early sparks discussion and shared ownership.
04 Testing The right method, matched to the objective, beats a guess.
05 Adaptability Stay flexible enough to keep answering the right question.

About

Three decades in digital gives you a front-row seat to how much the craft changes. I've hand-coded websites line by line, built sites in Flash, and now lead the adoption of AI across the design process. Each shift has meant relearning the tools, but the instinct for solving real problems for real people has carried through all of it.

Outside of work, I take fitness seriously and you'll usually find me on the golf course, planning the next ski trip, or catching a game. I love to travel, and I'm just as happy losing an evening to a good film or cooking something a bit too ambitious for friends and family.
