Design Partner & Advisor

Embedded design partner for teams who’ve outgrown duct-tape UX but aren’t quite ready for a bloated design department.

I help founders, PMs and the occasional stressed-out marketer get their product into shape — fast, quietly, and without starting another design trend no one asked for.
