👋 Hello there, I’m Craig 👋
As a people-loving product designer, I am passionately obsessed with problem solving. My goal is to create thoughtful and elegant user-centered solutions for a wide range of complex design challenges.
Design Principles
🕵️♂️
Make it simple. Complex business processes can and must be broken down into digestible chunks for users to complete.
🌎
Inspire new ways to connect virtually. I’ve been working remotely since pre-pandemic and am constantly finding new ways of engaging teams and bringing design forward.
🤩
Design should delight. All apps, even HR software, have the opportunity to delight users and make their day.
👏
Collaboraction™. The best product design outcomes are created when design + product + development work together in sync.
