How I work
From the first interview to the final prototype
I run studies end to end: planning them, talking to people, making sense of what they said and debriefing the team. Then I keep going. With hands-on design and prototyping skills, I turn findings into solutions and test them with the people they’re for, alongside designers, PMs and engineers.
That has meant helping podcast listeners talk to each other at Spotify, making e-scooters less intimidating at Voi, steering an inflatable vehicle with pressure in Tokyo, and helping Siri understand people better at Apple. I’m as comfortable leading a project as I am supporting one.
Hobbies
Courts and game worlds
Sports
When I’m not designing, I’m usually on a dodgeball court. I recently brought home a bronze medal from the European Championship. The current rotation also includes beach volleyball and bouldering.
Games
I’m a huge geek for anything game-related, on the table or online. Few things beat getting lost in a game world, or winning a close competitive match. It’s also why this site works a bit like a game menu.
