How I lead

01

Start with the decision

Every screen exists to help someone decide something. Find that decision first and design backwards from it.

02

Make alignment visible

Personas, journeys and prototypes are tools for getting a room to agree. I use them early and often.

03

Systems over screens

A design system with real owners scales a team further than any single hero project.

04

Grow the people

The best work I've led came from designers I trusted with real problems to solve.
