From Beginning to End



(I'm a storyteller at heart.)



Like a narrative with vivid characters and a thick plot, each project has a beginning, middle, and end, but is not always linear. The journey starts with a challenge and iterates through trials until we find a solution worth implementing.

  • Challenge

    A need or design problem arises.

  • Research

    Gather data and materials.

  • Ideation

    Sythesize, Craft, and Draft.

  • Feedback

    Empathize, Revise, and Refine.

  • Implement

    Publish, Deploy, and Scale.

My five phase approach is influenced by human-centered design thinking and agile methodologies, as well as, artmaking and creative processes that I've undergone in the past. It champions the underdog, fosters learning, and seeks the best path forward.



Could this approach meet your needs?
