Product designer (UX) • Design researcher
I try to keep things simple, impactful, and straight-to-point.
I research, understand, and design long-lasting solutions that solve problems — whatever shape they may take. :)

what I believe
Don't jump to a solution; understand the problem.
You can't solve issues while sitting in a void.
Sometimes a problem just needs patience and a new perspective.
Not all problems need a new feature—sometimes, just the opposite.
Research is necessary, whether you are creating, recreating, or just exploring. :)
Good research will give you a well-defined problem statement, which is 50% of the final solution.
If your product feels off, your research probably was.
Solutions don't need to be complicated to be good.
They should solve issues—not create new ones.
K.I.S.S. (IYKYK)
If you feel stuck, take a step back. :)
been figuring out this space for 7 years now and am still finding something new every day—iterating, exploring, and making sure I am better than yesterday, all while keeping my output optimal.
