Get to Know Me
Outcome-Oriented Rather Than Purely Aesthetic
My background spans formal training in graphic design and digital media, followed by professional work in product-driven environments such as game testing and digital design.
I work iteratively, grounding design decisions in user feedback and measurable acceptance, rather than personal preference. Prioritizing functional clarity and stakeholder alignment, and execution as defined by adaptablility; I produce viable alternatives, negotiate constraints, and deliver outcomes that satisfy real-world use cases.
