My Unbreakable Design Rules
The principles I'll fight for (with pixels and passion)
Where Rigor Meets Heart
I Design for Real People, Not Just Stakeholders
I’ll champion user needs in every meeting—not with jargon, but with data and stories.
Deadlines > Perfection
I’ll fight for quality, but never at the cost of someone’s launch dream. Done is better than perfect—and we can iterate live.
Tools Don’t Matter, *People* Do
Figma /Canva updates fade; how you make teammates feel lasts. I design with people, not just for them.
Kind Criticism > Nice Lies
I’ll tell you when a design isn’t working, but I’ll also stay late to help fix it. Growth requires honesty and support.
Feedback is a Gift (Even When It’s Tough)
I actively seek critiques and respond with ‘Thank you’ before ‘But…’. My best work happens when engineers, PMs, and interns all feel safe to poke holes.
Stay Hungry, Stay Humble
​The day I stop learning is the day I should retire. Curiosity is my superpower.
Why These Rules?
After 3 years of designing across businesses and student communities, these are the principles that keep my work meaningful—not just pretty.
