Designing interfaces that make sense • lempire • XXII • Apple

Greetings! 

I am a Senior product designer at lempire and an avid design enthusiast, particularly in the fields of interface and interaction design.

Many entrepreneurs underestimate the tremendous impact of design, in all its forms, and this is a huge mistake. Design has an incredible influence on life, society, and product development, making it the most important aspect. Without design, without interface, without ergonomics, without user analysis, there is nothing but a bad product.

My journey reflects this sentiment, and today I stand alongside lempire to make design a strategic lever to help as many people as possible in their business development through the likes of @lemlist, @lemwarm, @taplio, @tweethunter, and so much more soon...
