What I do

What I Do

Humans + Machines

Grounded in design experience, I use machines to accelerate my process, not takeover. This new world of vibcoding still needs human know-how to shape the results and I know how to do that.

Systems Thinking

Experience brings the ability to see connections others miss. We pull together product goals, audience desires, constraints, and realities to identify patterns and build structure. Our focus is scaling excellent outcomes.

Storytelling

Pull threads together to tell a compelling story of the product, effort and your business.

Design Process

I acclerate alongside you by facilitating design thinking - on teams and across roles. We embed and influence through action and confident expertise.

Don't Just Design, Launch

I know how to get a design to market; right connections, vigorous detail, and persistence.

0 to launch is the main goal. The problems, when we dig deeper? We have ourselves a running analysis experience where people put their bodies on the line so they can learn how to run without injury, and they don’t trust science alone. Another problem? The largest commercial brand in the world is launching this altruistic analysis and truly wanting to help athletes. The company comes with a reputation of being fiercly commercial. How might we appeal to all types of runners, in order to expand the brand and successfully launch within a short timeframe?

User Research

Presentations

The right designer will ask the right questions of the right people. AI hasn’t caught up to expert level perception, user research and collaboration. Research, personas, Executive level presentations and stortelling are an essential part of what I do. It’s how we align multi-disciplinary teams and stakeholders. It’s how we build momentum towards shared goals.

Design Sprints

No one needs to suffer a tired work product, in this day and age. And to solve the real minute and gargantuate problems workers face, we have to get to know them and how they work. Generalizing just doesn’t work for making products that follow-through on promises to fix the day.

I’ve been building better ways to get work done for over 15 years. Almost all of my designs live on to this day.
