Manifesto
According to Harvard Business Review, 75% of startups don't succeed. I know the frustration of working hard and not seeing results. I also know the solution.
Every new concept appears promising. It's easy to simply follow in the footsteps of competitors, trust your instincts, or optimistically hope for the best. However, our judgment is often clouded by subtle biases, leading to less than rational decision-making.
Impactful design goes beyond just aesthetic appeal. It must directly contribute to business performance. My approach incorporates design, psychology, and technology, with a specific focus on driving product growth.
To that end, I vow to:
- 01Focus on the most critical performance metrics.
- 02Identify and prioritize customer needs and expectations.
- 03Create user experiences that drive conversions and growth.
- 04Tell dad jokes on every occasion.
Uncover what works for your business and how to grow your products by design.

About Me
I'm a designer with a unique background in psychology. I bridge the gap between business, people, and technology. Unlike an artist, I focus on studying and measuring the impact of design on various business models.
One of my secret skills is cleaning up any mess I come across. I excel in piecing together fragments and setting things in motion. I'm always curious and will never hesitate to ask 'why' to uncover the truth.
In my free time, you can find me immersed in gaming and enjoying classic anime from the '90s.
