The success of a product depends on how well the team works together. When people feel seen and respected, they enjoy their work and get more engaged. This in turn creates a balanced workload for everyone and leaves room for creativity, innovation, and eventually, success.
While having a process is important, the path may change depending on our goal. Product design is like a toolkit, and we need to be adaptable in choosing the right tools and adjusting our plan as needed.
I believe design is an ongoing process because there's always room for improvement, updates, or evolution. The key is to keep learning and applying. It's not about being perfect but adapting to the user and business needs.
What often sets average design apart from great design are small details. We must be able to quickly identify the important details and then make good decisions on which ones matter to users. From Research to Visual Design, attention to detail makes the difference at every stage of the product process.

I'm a husband and father of two, originally from Dominica. I enjoy design, music and international football.
I have had a life-long curiosity for how people think and I believe this drives my passion for trying to anticipate user needs.
At my core, I love people. I enjoy working with them and serving the users I design for.
I am a master prototyper and enjoy being able to bring Figma mockups to life in a matter of minutes.
I am a systems thinker and I'm highly-skilled at creating frameworks and strategy around the products I design.
I credit much of my career progression to great mentorship. I am lucky to have had some brilliant design and business leaders invest in me over the course of the last 15 years.
My goal at this stage is to lead by example and give design mentorship as I continue to practice my craft.
I started as a UI/UX Designer in 2020, and was promoted to Senior UI/UX Designer 6 months into my tenure. A year later, I was promoted to Design Lead and spent 2+ years managing a design team working across multiple products.
I successfully designed 3 enterprise products as the sole UX designer on Chick-Fil-A's Supply Chain product team.
I started as Web Designer in 2015. I proved my value to the company by transforming design across web and mobile app products and was promoted to UI/UX Designer a year into my journey.
