I’m a design strategist who can transform your business through research and design. I’m also a UX mechanic who can design targeted features and optimize your existing user experience.

Vetted design strategist in the United States (UTC-5)
I'm a product manager, product designer, and design strategist. I've designed and delivered (to production) multiple products from zero to one. I've designed and led teams, built websites, web apps, native apps, mobile apps, design systems, and even APIs. I've worked with scrum teams in multiple locations including Mexico, USA, Germany, Ukraine, and India. I eat requirements for breakfast. I can roadmap a product, research the personas and user journeys, prioritize the features, design the screens, and have enough experience with HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript to guide front-end developers with design system components and libraries during development. (I've even built a couple of designs systems from zero.) I've advised several startups on their product design and journey, including an award winning AI company in Silicon Valley. How can I help you?
