What I focus on.

Real users, not ideal ones

Eight years teaching diverse classrooms means I design for how people actually behave.

Decisions out loud

Every case study shows what I explored, what I rejected, and why the winner won.

Evidence over opinion

Interviews, usability tests, live site data. I measure before I commit.
