Design Philosophy

Simple & Intuitive

I believe a good product is simple and easy to use. In order to be simple enough to use, it must also be intuitive enough for the user. Simplicity is what makes the best products stick.

User-First Design

For any business, one needs to understand the users' needs, pain points, & habits. Making a product that makes users' lives easier is what makes it successful & drives business.

Systems Thinking

I believe design should be in a way very similar to how devs code. Most designs I create are using auto-layout & interactive components, using which I've built & scaled design systems.

Problem-Solving > Pixel Perfection

Rather than creating pixel-perfect designs, designing is actually solving problems. Products that solve a real problem will always win over products that look good.

I teach the tools and techniques that are actually used in industry today. Every lesson is grounded in real-world applications and current best practices from my 4.5+ years of experience.

Hands-On Learning

Learning by doing is at the core of my approach. Students work on real projects and receive immediate feedback based on actual industry experience and design principles.

Portfolio-Focused

The curriculum is designed to prepare students for real design jobs. We focus on portfolio development and career preparation throughout the program, building case studies that showcase real problem-solving.

Systems Thinking

I teach students to think like developers - using auto-layout, interactive components, and scalable design systems. This ensures they can build and maintain designs that scale across teams.
