Manifesto

Research

Understanding our business model and users is crucial. What pain points do users face? How can I address them while aligning with our company’s goals?

Be Humble

I step into users’ shoes. Their problems become mine to solve. Feedback is essential, and I check my ego at the door.

Clarity

My goal is clarity. I tackle one message at a time. I don’t assume anything; consistency matters. Whether it’s positions, patterns, or visual elements, I keep them steady.

Declutter

I follow a “less is more” approach. By reducing clutter, I lighten the load on users. Whitespace is my ally—it provides breathing room.

Delight

Empathy drives me. I remove pain points and infuse delightful elements. Memorable experiences bypass obstacles.

Words

I believe in using words that resonate with people. Simplicity is key. Users have a limited attention span, so I make sure to highlight what truly matters.
