A product & design partner for 0→1 and pivots.

I partner with early-stage founders building their first product, and with teams making product pivots. As an embedded partner, I work with you to choose the next priority, validate it with users, and make sure product and engineering stay aligned so we deliver meaningful outcomes.

My approach is hands-on product and design. I work directly with your founder and tech lead. Each week, we run outcome loops: set a goal → prototype & test → write a decision memo → next steps. I work closely with engineers, prioritizing, scoping, and jumping in with small PRs when needed.

What we achieve together: Faster decisions (days, not months), lower risk (testing top assumptions before code), and team alignment (prototypes and specs that engineering can trust).

In practise: Frame the problem → define success → validate experience & design with users → build specs, acceptance criteria, and a clean handoff to development.

Best fit: Engaged founders, a technical core, and access to users. Multi-month or longer term collaborations.
Not a fit: Pixel-only work, "just make it pretty", or having no access to decision makers. Single day or week engagements.
