How I work
Research, design, then the code that ships it.
Research
Understanding users comes first. My methods are built to run early in the product cycle, using quantitative and qualitative analysis together.
Design
I create solutions to the problems research uncovers — wireframes, prototypes and pixel-perfect UI that survives handover.
Develop
I test how effective the designs are, then apply front-end development to turn them into working product rather than a file.
