What’s the strategic value of good design?

A strategic design process begins on day zero and leads to developing the right product for the right audience, finding a product-market fit that drives customers and revenue.

What can I do for you?

  • A team working at the white board

    Mentor and Grow Teams

    I can take over your design team like I did at Study.com and transform them into the best thing about your company. I taught the company the power of human-centered design and mentored the design team into a center of UX excellence.

  • Design Innovative Solutions

    Like I did with Pandora Internet Radio, I can turn complexity into simple beauty and create never-before-seen product experiences. I broke the mold of busy and complicated music apps by focusing on just giving listeners a great experience.

  • Develop Products from Zero to 1 and Beyond

    I can lead your team from concept to prototype to product, and then evolve your product for new customers, new partners, and new technologies. At Thuuz Sports, I started with a simple concept and created applications for multiple platforms and partners.
