What to expect

The 20-minute structure

First 5 minutes
Where you are today and what specifically is blocking the next decision. No background slides — straight to the live constraint.
Next 10 minutes
Live diagnosis: what's likely under the symptom, what I've seen in similar situations, which lever moves first.
Last 5 minutes
Honest fit read. Sprint, fractional CDO, transformation — or none of the above. If it's none, I'll point you at someone who is.
What I bring

Skills you can put on the call

Most calls land in one of these four shapes. We'll figure out which on the call itself.

Validation sprints

5-day end-to-end: framing, prototyping, 5 user tests, decision memo. AI-augmented production stack so the prototype looks shippable, not like wireframes.

Design systems that compound

Telemetry-instrumented from day one, with a refactor cadence that beats the temptation to ship more components than your products can absorb.

Web apps & admin UIs

v0 + Cursor + Claude Code + Figma — production-grade interfaces in days, not sprints. Component-system aware so the work compounds.

Fractional design leadership

10–20 hrs/month for growth-stage teams that need direction without another hire. Strategy, design reviews, hiring support, AI workflow integration.
Expectations were high, and they were met. The Design Sprint went really well. We received feedback internally that it was exceptionally well facilitated.
