Three habits I keep coming back to.

  • 01

    Start with research, not assumptions.

    Most design problems are research problems wearing a Figma costume. I spend the front half of every engagement with users, support tickets, and the team.

  • 02

    Explore more. Decide better.

    Utilizing AI to quickly explore directions, uncover possibilities, and test ideas before committing to a solution. More exploration means more confidence in the final decision.

  • 03

    Ship the boring half.

    Empty states, errors, settings, microcopy — the surfaces nobody screenshots. They're where trust actually lives.
