about me
History

I follow what can be called Psychology-first design thinking: integrating psychological principles into every design decision, so I can create experiences that resonate on both conscious and subconscious levels. One might call it a pragmatic model of experience design, considering both visual and practical functionality.

After a decade in digital experience design, what I might say is that it's not enough to design something understandable, and usable. That is merely the baseline. For meaningful connection with the audience, we also need to integrate the context and the people's core motivation to achieve the change that they came to us for.

Approach

Design thinking
Working from audience preference research throughout ideation and refined design to market acceptance, evolving the design iteratively.
System approach
Designing with a long-term view by considering the complex socio-technical matrix the audience and the project is embedded into.
Pragmatic model
Utilising the pragmatic model of experience design by considering both hedonistic (visual) and heuristic (functional) aspects.
Accessibility
Following the standards of accessibility, including WCAG and usability guidelines, and helping adoption by setting up visual and interaction hierarchy.
Digital inclusion
Bringing together stakeholders with different abilities and backgrounds, and welcoming different frames of references to enrich the experience.
Holistic view
For lasting impression and engagement, considering past heuristics and future impact as well during the design process.
