A Holistic Approach: My Philosophy for Solving Design Problems

Approach

I start solving problems with care and curiosity. Doesn't matter which one comes first because one will inevitably lead to the other. The next phase is all about taste and developing a strong first impression. This isn't something that's whipped up on the fly; on the contrary, it's based on continuous discovery from data, research, and other similar experiences using tools like Mobbin or just downloading and experimenting with apps myself. Then comes collaboration. I'm aware enough to know I don't know what I don't know, and getting to any great outcome involves multiple perspectives and teamwork. 


With today's tools, this whole process of creating software and experiences is getting tossed up every day. I'm here for it. I love challenging the status quo and figuring out new and better ways to get things done, together. AI is an extremely amazing tool that shows a lot of potential. But I'm not going to let it do all the work for me. I'm still going to be rooted in human-centered design principles while leveraging the right tools when/where necessary.
