How I think
about my work
01
Sketch ugly, decide fast
Pretty mockups slow teams down. I'd rather make ten rough flows in a day and kill nine of them than spend a week protecting one beautiful idea.
02
Designers should write more
Component docs, decision logs, handoff notes, change rationales. Writing is how design scales beyond one person's head.
03
Tokens over taste
My personal taste isn't a design system. Tokens, rules, and audited components are what let a product feel coherent when ten people are touching it.
04
Defaults are decisions
The empty state, the placeholder copy, the unsorted list order. These aren't details. These are what users meet first, and they're almost always under-designed.
05
AI in the loop, not in the driver's seat
I use generative tools daily. They're great at first drafts, terrible at final judgment. The interesting work is still mine to do.
06
Question the new shiny thing
Every quarter there's a tool, a trend, a methodology promising to change everything. Most don't. The work that ages well comes from fundamentals, not fashion.
