How I Work
Ship Early, Learn Fast
I believe in getting real products in front of real users quickly. Iteration beats perfection every time.
Craft Matters
Details make the difference. I care deeply about typography, spacing, and the small touches that create delight.
Build with Empathy
Great products come from understanding people. I start with user needs and work backwards to solutions.
