Why the Arc browser is the Chrome replacement I’ve been waiting for
Nowadays, most of the products we use are web-based. On average, people spend 6 hours and 40 minutes on browsers every day (that’s more than the amount I sleep per day 😳)...

Designers are problem solvers at heart—I truly believe that by leveraging our skills, we can make the world a better place.
My goal is to contribute to these ideals in any way I can. If you feel the same, I’d love to talk.
Below are a few Q&As to help you determine if I am the right fit.
What's your design process?

I believe the best answer of this, is - it depends.
Every problem that we are solving is different, with different people, different engineer, different PM, different users, something even different product, so I don’t believe there’s a one-size-fits-all design process that fits everything.
However, in an ideal world, this is my preferred process:
#1 Leverage both qualitative and quantitative data
I probably don’t need to emphasize the importance of having qualitative data if you are reading this. Additionally, as a designer with a data background, I write my own SQL queries and conduct analyses using tools like Amplitude and Hotjar to gather quantitative data. This approach allows us to compare and combine it with qualitative data for a comprehensive understanding.
#2 Workshop
‘Everyone Is A Designer' — Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO.
I believe our role in a company is to ignite the designer's heart within everyone, and that's why I enjoy facilitating workshops with my team to solve problems and propose solutions together."
#3 A growth mindset
I don’t believe there’s such thing as a "perfect design solution."
I believe the best way to ship a design is to optimize for learning by designing something, quickly testing it with users, shipping it, and then improving it through an iterative process. My design process aligns closely with this principle, as I prefer rapid iterations to gather feedback quickly from both the team and users.
Very often, you'll see me quickly prototyping something while people are talking in a meeting, or I might come to you the next day with a rough idea for a design to get feedback. I might even reach out to users to gather their thoughts.
How do you collaborate with others?

One thing I learned as I get more senior is UX is 80% about managing stakeholders and 20% about design. The better relationship you have with your directors, PMs & Engineers, the better you will be able to ship a good UX as a team.
#1 Trust Battery Theory
I am a big believer in the Trust Battery Theory, a concept proposed by Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify. This theory suggests that relationships start with a 'trust battery' charged to 50%. Each interaction either charges or drains the battery, reflecting the level of trust between individuals.
This metaphor highlights the dynamic nature of trust, which can grow or diminish over time based on our actions. Recognizing the importance of maintaining high levels of trust, I proactively engage with colleagues and clients to strengthen relationships. Whenever I sense the trust battery is depleting, I take immediate steps to address concerns and rebuild confidence, ensuring continuous positive engagement and collaboration.
#2 I run a lot of team workshops
As mentioned in another Q&A, I believe workshops are an amazing way for teams to sit together, share ideas, explore solutions, and get to know each other better. Being a certified facilitator, I understand the importance of running workshops that encourage innovation and continuous improvement within the team.
