Who I work with

  • Early-stage startups looking for design leadership without a full-time hire.

  • Fintech companies navigating complex regulatory and trust challenges.

  • Product teams ready to scale design systems and improve velocity.

Design Strategy

  • Navigate UX challenges in regulated environments (fintech, health-tech, cybersecurity).

  • Balance compliance with user-friendly experiences.

Startup & Scale-Up Consulting

  • Partner with founders to sharpen product vision and design priorities.

  • Advise on hiring your first (or next) designer.

  • Help align product, design, and engineering around outcomes, not features.


Engagement Models

I’m available to work within a few different engagement models:

  • Fractional Leadership: Step in as interim design lead (10–20 hrs/week).

  • Project-Based Consulting: UX audit, design system setup, or specific product initiatives.

Investment

  • Consulting Hourly: for small, low investment engagements I charge a flat fee of $275/hour

  • Project Based Scope: When you have a problem that requires sustained, dedicated effort with multiple, high-impact deliverables. Starts at 10k+
