What I Do

Product Strategy

I help organizations define what to build and why. From 0→1 launches to platform redesigns, I translate business challenges into product visions that teams can execute. Specialized in regulated environments where compliance meets innovation.

UX Design & Research

I design systems that scale, not just screens. Through systematic research and iterative design, I create experiences that users understand and organizations can maintain. Focus on reducing complexity without sacrificing capability.

Leadership & Organizational Design

I build design and product capabilities where none exist. From establishing the first UX team at SLB to creating company-wide training programs, I transform how organizations approach product development.
