How I work
I often reflect on how I show up in my work. In case we have the opportunity to collaborate, here's a peek into how I build!
I care about the why
I think it's important to be aligned on the why before we get into the how. Understanding what we're solving and for whom gets us on the same page about what success looks like and why it matters.
I advocate for quality
As we move to the how, I’m comfortable with trying different approaches. But I’ll always advocate for user quality. We earn our users’ attention and trust, and they deserve polished experiences.
I speak up
I think honesty, shared kindly, is key to healthy teams. I'll speak up when something isn't clicking or I see something differently, and I'm drawn to people who do the same. It takes mutual respect and a dash of courage, but it makes collaboration more effective and gratifying.
I think big and ship small
I'm drawn to big ideas and practicing how to break them into small bets. I've found that nimble iterations keep me more connected to outcomes and make it clearer what to build next.
I look for the data
I ground decisions in data (when possible*). My favorite sources are behavioral analytics and direct conversations with users. If we're making a change that impacts users significantly, I'm going to be curious about the data we're basing it on.
But I trust my instincts
*Sometimes the data doesn't exist yet, or it's pointing in different directions. To keep things moving so we can learn, I'm comfortable trusting my gut. (P.S. I'll be transparent when that's part of my decision making.)
If you've made it this far, thank you for being curious about how I work! I'm always evolving and so will this list.
