(Approach)

I focus on collaborating closely with teams to articulate the vision while engaging deeply with users to understand their behaviors, motivations, and frustrations.

By bridging these two perspectives, I help refine assumptions, prioritize effectively, and accelerate iteration cycles with prototyping.

Every action I take is part of a holistic approach — combining logic (how it works), aesthetics (how it looks), technical performance (how it performs), and business growth (how it converts).

(Recommendations)
