Wrong turn, right lesson

Before design, I spent almost five years as

Cabin crew at Emirates

living

in Dubai. The job came with a lot of travel, very little sleep, and an impressive ability to function at odd hours in any time zone. It was exciting, exhausting, and a great way to learn what I did not want to do ever again.

What I care about

Clarity, usability, and systems that don't fight the user. I like asking "why", getting into the messy parts of a product, and leaving things cleaner than I found them. Good design, to me, is less about aesthetics and more about making things make sense.
