About me

What I do

What I do

Bring clarity when project gets messy

Understand before action

Before jumping to design, I first fully understand the business and problem space.

Open collaboration

Instead of confining myself to the design corner, I flourish on working across disciplines openly.

Adaptive approach

Adaptive approach

Instead of adhering to a pre-defined process, I deploy strategies and tactics that are unique for each business context, teams and processes.

User centric

Any critical assumptions, I conduct exploratory or evaluative research to gain deep understanding and mitigate risks.
