"We want it clean and minimal."
Every project starts here. Then the stakeholder review adds 40 things, and "minimal" quietly dies.
Here's what I've learned after years of this: designing minimal is easy. Defending it — every week, against every "can we just add one more thing" — is the actual job.
That's the part I bring to a project. Not just the clean design, but the judgment to protect it through the messy middle, and the case for why each thing earns its place (or doesn't).
Clean isn't a style. It's a decision you defend until launch.
