When working in a team, I try to use my witty humor, lively nature, and laid-back attitude to foster camaraderie and confidence.
When tackling technical and design challenges, I prioritize thorough research and user-centered decision-making, complemented by structured workflows, including prototypes, vision boards, storyboards, and decision maps.
