Workflow

I translate complex inputs into actionable direction

  1. Vision

    I investigate broadly to identify stakeholder objectives and technical constraints to frame the problem.

  2. Distillation

    I elucidate the project's user, problem, and match the solution to the pain point.

  3. Validation

    I rapidly prototype, test, and revise to stress test the riskiest assumptions.

  4. Execution

    I iteratively build with test-driven development and strong collaboration.

  5. Reflection

    I compare the intended outcome to the final result to inform the next launch.
