Every project begins with curiosity, from building a new product or organizing a community event. Gregory believes design isn’t just about what we make, it’s about asking the right question. Gregory's approach blends human-centered design and intuition to uncover what people truly need and how we can design systems to serve them better. Whether he is building a brand, shaping a product, or guiding a team, he starts by deep listening. Then, we move together toward clarity, simplicity, and meaning.

Human-Centered Design (HCD) is the foundation of my work—a creative framework that places people at the heart of every system, product, and story. It’s how I help organizations move from complexity to clarity.

01

Understand

Every project begins with empathy. I listen, observe, and research to uncover real human needs—what people value, where they struggle, and how systems affect their experience.

02

Define

Insights become focus. I identify core challenges and align stakeholders around a shared definition of success—balancing user needs, business goals, and social impact.

03

Ideate

Through collaboration and creative exploration, I help teams imagine new possibilities. This stage is about divergent thinking—sketching, mapping, and testing ideas without limits.

04

Prototype

Ideas become tangible. I translate concepts into prototypes—whether that’s a product interface, communication system, or workshop experience—to visualize and test solutions early.

05

Test & Iterate

Testing is learning. I gather feedback from real users, refine, and iterate—ensuring each solution is intuitive, inclusive, and impactful before scaling.
