My Philosophy

Context is Everything 

This is a common saying in literary analysis that I bring with me from my background in English. Extensive research into the context, problems, needs and behaviours of the target users informs all my UX research and design work.

Focus on Usability 

My UX research and design work focuses on identifying core usability issues and improving them for better product performance. 

Balance User Needs with Business Goals

My previous experience in a branding consultant startup taught me the importance of aligning clients' business goals with consumer needs, which I bring into my UX research and design work. I believe a product can grow more successfully when it balances user needs and business goals.
