How I think
before I design.

I don't open Figma first. I start with the system, the users, and the cost of getting it wrong.

01
01
Understand before designing

Learn the system, the users, and the cost of failure before touching a design tool.

02
02
Simplify the mental model

The right answer is usually less — a clearer structure, a smarter default, less to explain.

03
03
Surface the tradeoffs

Name risks and competing priorities early, before they become expensive downstream problems.

04
04
Design for real conditions

Enterprise users are busy, expert, under pressure. Design for that — not the ideal case.

These are patterns, not a process. How I Work goes deeper — real examples from real projects, the tradeoffs I made, and how my thinking has evolved over 12 years.
