Empathetic by nature. Not by trade.
EMPATHETIC BY NATURE. NOT BY TRADE.
Before tech, I was a pastor
That job is built around caring about people, and you don't last ten years at it unless it's already somewhere in you. When I moved into UX and Product Design seven years ago I brought that with me, and honestly, the job didn't change that much because....
the through line has always been people
So why am I telling you this?
Because it doesn't switch off when the work starts. Every designer says they're empathetic, and most of them mean it about users. I mean that too, but you'll also feel it on the Teams call.
I'm probably the one cracking dad jokes, or asking how your kid's doing because you mentioned they were sick last week. And when there's tension on the team, I'd rather talk it through than let it sit.

Case studies written like documentaries
At this point in my career, you can assume I can do the tactical part of the job. The UI, the Figma files, all of that. So I didn’t want these case studies to just show screens. I wanted them to show the stuff I think actually separates me. Like the time I lost an argument with stakeholders and still had to deliver their version well. That part never makes it into a mockup

Everyone loved it. Nobody could act on the real problem.
What started as a discovery call for one small app turned into a map of five products and a much bigger idea.

They asked for a better inbox. Nobody asked why.
A promise made in a meeting we weren't in decided the answer before we'd finished asking the question.

The UI was fine. The structure underneath it wasn't.
Assigned one feature, I found a content structure with no limits on it. On a phone, at the counter, it fell apart.

Bringing what I'm doing offline online
Fatherhood, design, and figuring it out in public. It's the same instinct I bring to work, just somewhere else.
No agenda, no posting schedule. Just showing up and documenting the parts I'm still working out.
