Design For Happiness
Design should not only solve a problem, but also connect emotionally with the user from the perspective of a well branded experience. It's all about the details! I'm a designer with a passion for good design and smart strategy. Design rules everything around me. I love visual aesthetics and design systems, but what I love more is something aesthetically pleasing, yet intuitive and simply functional. Over the past 15 years working as a multidisciplinary designer, I believe that industry and user research is vital to the viability of any design. Whether it's a branding project, a mobile app, a product design, an advertising campaign, or any customer experience; understanding who your audience is and how they think will make them happy, as long as you design for good and base your decisions on users feedback & needs. I have confidence that human-centered design and sustainable design can create positive social change and help shape a healthy planet full of happy people :)
