Great design starts in the wild, not on artboards.
The best insights come from watching real people work through imperfect systems, seeing the shortcomings and work-arounds, then asking why it has to be that way. I think in systems, not just screens, and I care about the seams: the trade-offs behind decisions, the micro-interactions that make complex tools feel simple.
