I Believe In
Building a Diverse Team
I strive to build diverse teams that can draw upon their unique experiences to do great things. With talented individuals who have common purpose and passion, anything is possible.
Identifying the MVP
Most Valuable Problem. User interviews, surveys, card sorting, ethnographic studies, etc... It's necessary to dig deep to make sure we're solving the problem that will be most valuable to solve.
Finding the Best Solution
The multiple perspectives of a diverse team is a great starting point, but only through iterating, usability testing, and monitoring metrics can we be sure we've found the best solution to a problem.
Sharing an Impactful Message
Communication between team members, leaders, and stakeholders during each phase of a project is paramount to its success. The trust earned through transparency increases velocity and quality.
