My bag of tricks has well-worn tools in UX design, UI design, product strategy, and many others.

I have been in the lead, in the trenches, and in the co-pilot seat on projects of all kinds for many years.

Coaching & Mentorship for Design and Product

I can work one-on-one with your in-house design or product team to help streamline processes, augment their capabilities, and provide guidance and growth. It doesn't matter if it's a large team, a small team, or a team of one. In some startups, these may even be teams of zero, as members with other backgrounds fill in and make do.

Whether it's an occasional check-in to answer questions and review ideas, or it's a more invested and constant relationship, I can add expertise to your team to make sure your team has the support it needs to thrive in these areas.

I have been a design and product leader for over 25 years in organizations of all sizes, building teams, guiding careers, leading strategies. I'm a Techstars all-star mentor and an alumnus.

Custom User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) Design

I can take on any user-facing digital design project. It doesn't matter if it's just idea or if it's been around for ages. We'll pick it up from where it is, figure out a streamlined path to get it where it needs to be, and get to work.

I work seamlessly with your team, adapting to your processes, to help you overcome challenges and constraints, understand your unique users, and keep your goals clearly in sight.

I'll tailor the deliverables to what you need. From product plans and sketches, to research documents, to finished pixel-perfect designs, to clickable prototypes.

I've designed and built literally hundreds of digital products, taking on a wide range of roles in the process. So I can handle whatever you need, work comfortably with the others you have assigned, and overcome whatever obstacles are thrown our way.

Product Strategy

Product strategy is the thoughtful and informed process of determining how your digital product is going to change over time. It's an alchemy of business interests, available resources, user needs, market shifts, internal vision, dependencies, constraints, and many other factors.

Frequently it's about additions. Often, it should be about subtraction. Sometimes a simple turn of phrase in the supporting text is all you need (I've seen it save many hours of development work). Experience, creativity, and an understanding of every stakeholder's position can help create alignment within your organization on what comes next, how it's going to be handled, and how it serves the overall business goals.

Ask me about how I can provide perspective on your product strategy and help get everyone on board with the what, when, how, who, and why of your roadmap.

What Else?

I work with clients in consultant, mentor, and hands-on capacities in projects across a wide spectrum of skill sets. Some of these include marketing strategy, search engine optimization (SEO), HTML & CSS, illustration, and writing to name a few.

I find that my broad skills as a generalist frequently contribute to a faster solution of higher quality, regardless of the primary focus of the project. Knowing a lot about marketing and SEO helps for a better UI design. Ability to write helps every stage of the product. Being able to code in HTML, CSS (and a bit of PHP and MySQL) helps to create prototypes and to coordinate with developers and provide significant overlap. And so on.

Reach out about any challenge you're facing where you think a well-traveled generalist's skill set could be helpful.
