About
My grandfather went home from hospital with seven medicines and a sheet of paper he couldn't read. That's the moment I decided design should work for tired, stressed people, not just for screenshots.
I like research that happens where people actually are: wards, platforms, kitchens. I prototype early and test with whoever will sit still.
I also play futsal, collect transit maps from every city I visit, and keep a list of the worst error messages I've ever seen.
