What is your typical "day in the life of a designer"?

I start the day with a dog walk and coffee in the park. Then I plan my tasks for the day. If it's Monday, I plan for the week. I go to meetings and facilitate product discussions. I make space for learning new things when I can.

Design principles you live by?

1. Keep it simple, but also know that breaking down complexity into a simple lovable idea is hard.

2. Stay user-informed and data-informed.

3. Fail early and often to learn and grow.

4. Stay curious. Embrace the child in you.

5. Patience. Time is a privilege and it will help you understand what is important to keep and what is important to ignore.

What problem can't you stop thinking about?

Public Services and Governance, Climate Change, Healthcare, Education, and many more. Design has the potential to influence many industries, yet it feels like we just started.
