I follow best practices, lead usability and user feedback sessions, moderate contextual user interviews, facilitate rapid design sessions, and build iterative prototypes.

not what they say.’
At the heart of me as a designer and leader is to listen to our users, pay attention to their behavior, and reflect back potential solutions to meet those needs, as well as to listen to my team and my stakeholders.
I love the interaction, observations, and insights gained from observing and listening to people’s behaviors in their real-life context, work, and play.
“Behavior never lies.”
