✦ My Design & Leadership Approach
Go rough & dirty
Don't overthink it. Start somewhere and jot down your ideas quickly. It's okay to begin messy and embrace the iteration process.
Get early feedback & collaborate
Don't fall in love too quickly with your ideas. Involve others and seek feedback early on.
Being fair over kind
Balance empathy with accountability. Constructive honesty fosters growth and understanding within the team.
Trust & empower
Treat team members as capable adults to foster autonomy and responsibility. Embrace mistakes as learning opportunities.
