Partnership to propel you forward

Fractional design leader and advisor to get your team and product to the next level

I’ve been invited to deliver talks at conferences like Join Futures and Front, and at companies like Yahoo!, 21st Century Fox, and USAA.

Let me help you explore how to integrate AI into your products, or inspire your team to adopt AI in their workflow.

My workshops on Design Systems, Journey Mapping, and Increasing the Value of Design have helped 100s of designers raise their skills and impact.

I partner with founders and their teams to define, design, and deliver exceptional experiences. Through advisory or fractional leadership, I can help you explore and evaluate a new product direction, transform your maturity and impact, and develop operations and strategy to take you to the next level. My process is rapid and efficient, helping you get the support you need to unblock and move fast.

Design transformation

Mature your Product and Design capabilities to grow your impact, build influence, and improve your operations. Less mature teams benefit from focused workshops and playbooks, while more mature teams receive strategic advising and support to expand your reach across the full experience landscape.

Zero → One Discovery

When you need to validate whether an idea is worth pursuing or evolve it to a point where it can scale. I work closely with founders and small strike teams to rapidly prototype and evaluate a concept using lean research, design, and product discovery.

Team and operational leadership

My proven playbook can help you with process design, design strategy, culture-building, leveling designers, budget management, recruiting, and team ops. Let me help you stand up a new team or get an existing group working more efficiently so you can focus on the business problems in front of you.

AI Design and exploration

I’ve designed consumer and B2B products incorporating Generative AI as a feature and a content source. The world is moving fast, and it's critical to get design and product teams comfortable with computation and generative thinking. Let me help you explore how to seamlessly integrate this into your product, or upskill your team to introduce AI into their designs and their workflow.

Design and strategy sprints

Move quickly towards a goal to get your team on the same page and moving faster together. Remote or in-person sprints are the antidote to misalignment and churn. I help you break out of your current thinking to problem solve around a specific goal and rapidly evaluate your progress.

Journey and Experience mapping

Understand how different touchpoints, channels, and journeys shape the current experience so you can make decisions faster and point your energy towards the highest points of leverage. Stop navel gazing and use mapping as an exercise to align by developing the skills and frameworks to run this play when you need it.
