Approach

How I think about the work.

Success is strategy met with craft.
A product feels inevitable when the direction is sharp and the details earn it. Strategy without craft is a memo; craft without strategy is decoration. Success lives in the alignment.
The user breaks ties.
Research isn't a tie-breaker, it's the practice that keeps the team honest. Done right, each round leaves a clearer picture — so the team spends less time debating and more time executing with clarity.
Trust is the unlock.
Strong teams aren't built on org charts; they're built on small moments of disagreement handled well. That trust compounds into speed, taste, and the willingness to take real swings.
