Making friends in Crossroads - South Africa, 2018
The Craft
I craft methods to the specific needs of each product. From research, mapping journeys, and rapidly producing prototypes; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail, and when to make low-fi sketches and mockups.
I’m a system thinker making rational decisions while creating and evolving design languages for products. Building a single source of truth that streamlines communication in cross-functional teams.
I lead the end-to-end design process across the entire product lifecycle. Patterning closely with engineering, product, and business folks to build solutions, together. Setting the vision for the user experience and creating a safe space for others to collaborate.
I’ve been working with both, startups and large corporations in the last years, which allowed me to be comfortable in making design decisions that shape products with short feedback loops. Combining business strategy and user needs.
