How I Work
Start with people
Talk to learners and users first. Understand how they think and where they get stuck before building anything.
Ground it in theory
Design from evidence, whether that is Erikson, Gestalt psychology, or the risk literature on generative AI.
Build and measure
Prototype quickly, collect real feedback, and let the data decide the next iteration.
