Jobs to Be Done
People don’t want tools for their own sake, they want progress. JTBD helps me zoom out, understand what progress looks like for someone, and design toward that outcome. It’s a steady way to make sense of complex problems and move them toward simpler, more humane solutions.
Five Stages Design
Inspired by IDEO’s CHI ’95 interaction design methodology, I work from a process that stays flexible early, favoring exploration, learning, and shared understanding before converging on solutions. It’s become the backbone of how I approach complex product problems.
