Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution

My Design Manifesto

Discovery

Everything starts with the end user’s interview. Ask yourself, “Is it solving real end users’ issues, and does it meet the needs of the business?

Keep it simple

It’s hard work, but it pays off. Keep it as simple and intuitive as possible, and find unique, unexpected solutions for your problems.

Don´t trust just yourself

Prototyping and user testing are important for proofing your designs and testing them under almost real conditions. Listen to people.

Think holistically

Work with design systems, layout grids, and pattern libraries to guarantee consistency and an easy design handoff to development teams.
