Values.
Everyone has different priorities and different beliefs

As a designer, I believe in having fun, working smart, and just being a good human

Having fun

  • The best work happens when you’re enjoying it! 

  • So regardless of the product, I believe in finding joy in the process, celebrating successes (big and small), and having a sense of humor (especially when sh*t hits the fan)

Working smart

  • There are times when you just have to WORK to get a project done well, and I fully acknowledge and support this

  • However, there are times when a process spirals into complexity and near insanity. I believe appropriate scoping, regular check-ins, and honest communication should prevent this disaster

  • Working for work’s sake is never healthy. Working to achieve specific and relevant goals is what I’m all about

Being a good human

  • This is my general life philosophy

  • It’s especially relevant in design and in the workplace. Designers have to empathize with and keep user interests in mind; and being kind to teammates makes everyday more enjoyable (see “Having Fun”)
