I've always been a little Professionally curious.Occasionally asks one too manyfollow-up questions.. Turns out there's a career for that.
I like knowing why people do what they do, what frustrates them, and which tiny details everyone else seems to miss.
That curiosity has followed me from law to sociology to product design. Now, at NYU, I get to turn all those questions into research, sketches, prototypes, and hopefully experiences people actually enjoy using.
Good design starts with better questions.
A few things I believe in, regardless of what I'm designing.
Question the obvious.
I like asking why things work the way they do before deciding how they should work differently.
One more why?Get closer to people.
Real routines, frustrations, and workarounds often reveal more than assumptions ever could.
Observe first.Make complexity feel simple.
Good design helps people understand what matters without losing the details that make it useful.
Clarity > clutter.Stay open to being wrong.
I make, test, listen, and rethink. The first idea is rarely the most interesting one.
Always iterating.[10]
