Methodologies

Product Design

Build your products for the end user, not the stakeholder. Always remember who will use the product and tailor your research, UX, and UI to that audience. Back up your decisions with data and avoid “I don’t like” traps. Challenge likes with user data and develop your best possible product. Always remember it will never be perfect, but it can be great.

Branding Design

Your logo is your handshake, not your elevator pitch. Please keep it simple and let your messaging, content, and values do the heavy lifting. Your logo reminds people that you walk the walk. Stay brand consistent by following your style guide, and be bold, never regular.

Web Design & Development

Your codebase is like a house. Without a solid foundation, it will crumble. Avoid restarting dev procedures and establish a scalable workflow to which your team can follow and contribute. Keep your tech stack strict and pay back as much, if not all, of your tech debt as soon as possible.

Leadership

Always remember there is more to learn; your team is the perfect teacher. Never dictate. Always collaborate. Protect and insulate your team from unnecessary headaches and provide them the tools, room, and opportunity to grow. Earn their respect, and never give your team a reason to lose it. Also, hot sauce challenges are fun.

B2B / B2C Marketing Design

There is no better way to market to your audience than with empathy-driven storytelling. You can appeal to your audience with human-centered stories and designs that drive insight and affinity. If your audience can relate personally to your message, they are more likely to engage positively with your campaign.
