“I see design as a service capable of solving every world problem through collaboration and systems thinking.”
User centered
Gather insights through discovery and validation research to inform product and design visions using strategy decks, user journeys and interfaces.
Impact focus
Define business strategy, prioritize product features and write business requirements, while coordinating product development in a cross-functional team.
Inclusive design
Facilitate a space for ideas and include everyone in the process to build an experience which is made of everyone’s work.
Evidence driven
Use evidence to support the design of experiences in every step of the way to prove the value and impact of its outcome to the business and its users.
Systems thinking
Understand the different parts of a complex situation and create one piece of information that is understandable and positively affects the people that are influenced by it.
“I believe in constant learning to become a better version of myself and be able to influence others.”
