Approach:
Human Centered Design

I seek to create intuitive solutions from real problems users face in their daily lives. With the user at the center of everything, whether a product, environment, or digital solution, it is the most powerful way to make a product stand out.

Tune

I focus on making sure solutions are grounded in reality. In addition to refined sketches, we continue to build 3D prototypes for internal review and user feedback. I work closely with engineers, refining the design based on their feedback and testing.
