Work With Me

So I’ve done a thing or two around the UX Product Design space for the past 28 years. Design is what I’ve been built to do. So, when I work with any organization, I:

• Guide Product Owners find their product's purpose and deliver innovative and feasible improvements
• Show Engineering teams how to integrate UX Design workflows into their Agile processes
• Improve a software product focus for customers through purpose-driven design work
• Strengthen a UX Product Designer and UX Design Team skills
• Advise UX Design Managers on Design Team growth strategies

My sweet-spot of expertise lays in:

• Productivity Applications (typically internal or B2B )
• Financial Services (but any detailed, process-heavy domain)
• Large-scale user bases (typically enterprise or startups needing to scale)
• Development teams using Agile (typically unfamiliar with how to integrate design)

I’ve also worked alongside a number of design roles, so I can likely help you if you’re a:

• UX Product Designer (typically 5 to 10 years experience)
• UX Design Team (typically 1 to ~25)
• UX Design Manager (typically managing a team like ☝️)

Also, if you’re not a designer, we can talk design strategy. I may be able to help you build your design team:

• Product Owner
• Startup CEO or product visionary

Web app Design for enterprises or startups wanting to scale up

• Productivity, B2B, Heavy Data and specialty workflows, Agile and SAFe
• Own and lead a product team through the design process from user research through feature implementation

Design System creation and management

• Creation of a new design system, as an initiative
• Streamlining an existing design system or strengthening the practices of a design system team

Coaching UX Product Designers

• Individualized professional development programs
• Strengthen practical UX product design skills including working with non-designers (stakeholder, developers, and customers) throughout the whole software design process
