👩💻 I’m a design leader working (primarily) on complex products, services & multi-partner initiatives – mainly, but not exclusively B2B. The 3 principles that guide my work (for now) are:
Global design is local design is context-aware design.
Acute awareness of the socio-cultural context in which a design must operate is essential. Otherwise you’ve invested in failure.
Room for uncertainty will make your products stronger.
Knowledge is incomplete, things change all the time. Institutional/operational space for uncertainty should be a built-in feature.
No fear and/or no mercy for complexity.
Excellent design seeks to leverage the systems it’s part of. That, or it completely upends them.
