When we think of design in the traditional sense, what someone sees as beautiful could be ugly to another.
However, the UX—the science behind the art—is very literal. The experience works or it doesn’t. It’s easy to understand or it’s difficult.
Managing a product and keeping the experience simple (and easy to understand) is my mantra.
My background in design has had a strong impact on my ability to simplify complex ideas and communicate them to business owners, development teams, other designers—you name it.
My unique views on management & leadership allow me the ability to reinforce the value of clean, simple, and usable design throughout the entire customer experience—all through an educational approach.
Hey, if you’re not learning, you’re not growing, right?
My product & creative consulting services help you identify and align business goals to customer needs.
That may feel backwards, but if there’s anything my 20 years of experience has taught me, it’s that you can’t drive growth unless you create experiences that cater to what the market demands.
