Principles
Clarity before aesthetics
Good design starts with understanding, not visuals.
Before focusing on how something looks, I prioritize clarity in goals, structure, and intent. Visual design becomes stronger when the underlying thinking is clear.
The right problem matters more than the solution
Solving the wrong problem well is still failure.
I focus on defining problems carefully, questioning assumptions, and aligning on what truly needs to be addressed before moving into execution.
Systems over isolated screens
Design should scale beyond individual moments.
I prefer building systems and patterns that support consistency, reuse, and long-term maintainability rather than designing disconnected screens.
Decisions should be explainable
If a decision can’t be explained, it’s probably not strong enough.
I believe good design decisions can be traced back to goals, constraints, and user needs—not taste or trends.
Validation reduces risk
Testing early saves time later.
By validating assumptions before full commitment, design becomes more confident, focused, and resilient to change.
Collaboration is part of the craft
Design doesn’t happen in isolation.
The best outcomes come from open communication, shared ownership, and respectful collaboration across disciplines.
Less, but better
Restraint is a design skill.
I value removing what doesn’t add value, focusing effort on what truly matters, and keeping complexity to a minimum.
