Systems thinking in design
December 8, 2025
Design isn’t about individual screens—it’s about interconnected systems that evolve over time. I approach every project as a living ecosystem, not a static artifact.
I map the flows: how users move between states, how data transforms, how features interact. Each decision ripples through the system, creating either harmony or friction.
The goal is emergence: simple rules that create complex, adaptive behavior. When done right, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
Systems thinking reveals the hidden connections that make or break user experiences. It’s not just designing interfaces—it’s designing relationships.
