I have extensive experience in product design, user experience design, web design, user interface design, interaction design. I have built and led design teams for the internet's most important and celebrated companies. Now, through my involvement at Khosla Ventures, I work with startup CEOs to make design relevant and successful within their companies.

Irene has been helpful to give us some insights about what we can improve on our user interface. Her comments were spot on to address what we were not looking at. Thank you!

The advice Irene gave for design was brilliant! In a very short amount of time I was able to parse through a number of actionable items.

I can't think of a better expert for design. Consider yourself lucky to get a call with her.
