Approach

Systems over screens

A system's real job is to help teams work together. It gives marketing, business, and engineering a shared way to build with design instead of each team going its own way.

Research before production

The most useful things I learn come from being in the room while someone does their job, not from asking them to describe it afterward.

Accountable for outcomes

I write down what worked and what didn't. Recording the failures matters as much as the wins, because that's how a team learns and stops repeating the same mistakes.

AI-augmented, not AI-replaced

Claude Code, Cursor, and Figma Make are part of my daily work. They shift the balance between thinking and production, without replacing the thinking.
