I want the products I create to feel like you're sitting at your favourite restaurant on a weekday night; familiar, soulful, and reliable. I spend a lot of time talking to people: stakeholders, users, my team, and everyone in between.

The reason for this is to understand the 'why', what is the core problem and how do I create a product that is the perfect solution.

In school, I did not understand math. What did all these abstract concepts have to do with me, and why did I need to know how to calculate the triple integral of a function?

Building products, I've realized how important it is to contextualize the numbers that we're measuring. Combining metrics with an understanding of the people we are building for, allows us to understand how well we are providing value.

The way I work is similar to the way I travel: each day I have a North Star vision of The One Thing™ that I have to see, but beyond that I let the world guide me.

It's important to me that I have a vision of the product I'm creating. The intricacies of what it does and how it works is a collaborative process, and is truly what excites me - exploring a side road, finding a hidden waterfall, and bringing it all together to form a cohesive experience.
