Principles
-
01
Be honest about what works.
To myself as much as others. Transparency builds trust.
-
02
Build for people, not metrics.
Why build something that doesn't serve anyone?
-
03
Make things worth making.
The best work is made with care and intention, things that provide value in whatever form that takes.
