About Me

I love creating, enhancing, and scaling products and services that serve peoples' specific needs.


I have a lot of product delivery and management experience backstopped by research, strategy, and experience design.


I'm inspired by the art of observation and seeing things always presented by the natural world but not always seen.

User Experience Research

I have been the primary lead user researcher on various engagements.


Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, in both web2 and web3, my work and influence has led to product roadmapping & definition, experience design & delivery, and investor pitch decks.

Experience & Product Defintion

Assets created in this product area are future state journey maps, service design blueprints, user flows & stories, business requirements documentation, and others.


My key area of influence is transitional phases between traditional skill-sets/silos and bridging knowledge gaps with E2E definition and advisory.
