MY WORKING PROCESS

COLLABORATE
Bring together diverse perspectives and skill sets to solve complex problems.

DOCUMENT
Keep track of your process and ideas so you can always revisit and reference previous steps and concepts when necessary.

RETHINK
Assess the ethical considerations and accessibility of your design. Contemplate the worst-case scenarios to prepare for potential challenges.

COMMUNICATE
Tell a story. Effectively presenting your process and rationale 
is nearly as crucial as the design itself.
