Frame with the job and the metric

Every engagement starts with the user job to be done, the business constraint, and the success metric we will use to judge the work before anyone opens Figma.

Explore three options, kill with evidence

I sketch real alternatives, run the cheapest test that can falsify them, and record what we rejected and why. Stakeholder taste is input, not a verdict.

Tie each pattern to a measured outcome

Shipped UI links to a research signal or experiment result. Programme scale sits in the footnotes; the case study shows which component moved which number.

Ship fast, iterate faster

I don't wait for perfection. I validate with real users, kill projects when data says so, and move at startup velocity even in enterprise contexts.

Design drives revenue, not just delight

Every design decision ties back to business outcomes. I speak boardroom language while maintaining design craft.

Lead teams of 10+, influence C-suite

I'm a P&L owner, not just a design lead. Proven at 0→1 and 1→100M scale.
