I.

I first encountered
design thinking as
an editor of an online
literary journal, where
it honed my awareness
of how users interact
with words and media.

Now, as a designer,
I employ a systematic
process in which I
study users’ behavior
and create things, both
digital and analog, to
help meet their needs.

I even apply design
thinking to my poetry
and systematically
manipulate drafts, then
collage the words into
surreal new work that
excites my imagination.
