How to Leverage Design to Outpace Your Competitors
Created 5 years ago in Product & Design / User Experience

Who says only the biggest companies can apply design heuristics to achieve great things?
Consumers today have a discerning eye for design-forward products and services. From household names like Uber and Nike, to emerging leaders like Peloton and Robinhood, the most successful companies today have one thing in common: they use design to make their customers fall in love and stand out from competition.
I have designed unique experiences for Google, Fitbit, Citi, HotelTonight, Venmo and Intuit.
I can help you refine your early idea into a well designed product, or take your proven concept to the next level be improving your UX.
💡A few ideas on how we can engage:
- Review your current UX:
Where are you now and where do you need to be? Get an actionable todo list for 10% near term UX improvement and 10X longer term vision.
- Implement design & research in your org:
No designers on the team? Not sure where to begin? That's okay! Let's create a plan to make design and UX research part of your product development process.
- Hiring your first designer or researcher:
Not sure what to look for? I can help you create a process to identify and interview the best talent at your budget.
