Core Values
Scientific Design
Improving customer satisfaction requires meticulous research and prove to validate a true customer experience, thus I believe in designing like a scientist.
Interrupt Conventions
Breaking the norm to create a more satisfying experience. Invention over convention, for convention is just the foundation to do better.
Progressive Learning
An advocate of knowledge sharing, learning from other industry professionals while also impacting the design community with my experience.
Simplicity
As a UX designer, I believe less is better, enabling your designs to truly connect with the users at that human level.
