My philosophies

😊 Empathize with People

Behind every product or service is a person. Someone who may need a feature or help with a challenge I can solve. By empathizing with users and understanding their needs, I can identify issues and craft solutions that truly address their concerns. Deeply understanding people gives me insight into what users really need.

🤝 Collaboration and Diversity

Design is a collaborative process that thrives on diverse perspectives. A great team encourages input from people of different backgrounds and experiences. I believe in fostering an inclusive environment where everyone is empowered to share ideas and take risks, as this leads to better, more innovative products.

🛠 Build and Iterate

Building a product is an ongoing process of iteration. Challenges and failures are inevitable, but perseverance is key. I accept that the path to success is not linear, and I’m committed to continuously improving and refining the product.

🤯 Open to Information

Information, both positive and negative, is everywhere. It’s essential to critically assess and research its validity. With new ideas emerging globally, I stay open-minded and leverage fresh knowledge to inspire and enhance my designs.
