Ethics

My process, principles, values, and mission. I carry these thoughts into every team I collaborate with. They are my compass for my pursuit of excellence in all things.

My Mission

I’m passionate about bringing vision to reality, focused on meaningful ideas, applying excellence in craft, to build impactful experiences, that help business grow, and make the world a better place.

Multi-disciplinary

Design includes all brand touchpoints and interactions with a product.

Shared ownership

Everyone is responsible for what is delivered to customers and users.

Inclusive

Design isn’t only for designers. Everyone should practice design thinking.

Process

Visual Principles

Beauty’s the key

Makers and users should love what is made for a long time. Beauty isn’t luxury.

Minimalism = usability

Remove all unnecessary things to make an experience as simple as possible.

Utility in ambiguity

Avoid constraints early, allowing seemingly improbable ideas to surface.Design isn’t only for designers. Everyone should practice design thinking.

Modularity

Design independent parts, with standard interfaces so people can customize and contribute.

Explore options

There are many solutions to every problem. The 1st usually isn’t the best.

Least effort

Choose the easiest path to accomplish a goal. Outcomes should feel effortless.

Unity

Design should cohesively fit together to improve UX and help teams build.

Don’t please everyone

Design can't be attractive to all people but should never fall out of principles.

Sustainability

Design to minimize impact on the environment and improve quality of life.

Collaboration

The golden rule

Treat others as you would have them treat you.

Meaningful work

Meaning increases performance, commitment, and satisfaction.

Impact

Work should positively impact your workplace, customers, and the world.

Fairness

Be impartial and just without playing favorites or discriminating.

Humility

Be grounded in self-awareness and able to admit our faults.

Forgiveness

Extend forgiveness if someone admits wrong-doing and is willing to change.

Agency

Have influence in your work so that your vision, if correct, can be actualized.

Autonomy

Be able to execute ideas, even if that means we have to live with mistakes.

Thoroughness

Do the work required to finish a job correctly or we incur debt to pay later.
