Great products don't fail because of bad code. They fail because of bad design decisions.
Your product looks like it was designed by committee
Too many cooks. No design vision. Every screen is a compromise that satisfies nobody and converts even fewer.
Agencies burn your runway with bloated timelines
Six-week discovery phases. Endless stakeholder meetings. You're paying for process, not progress.
Freelancers disappear when you need them most
They ship a few screens and vanish. No design system. No documentation. No continuity. Just a Figma file and a prayer.
You can't afford a full-time CPO yet
You need strategic design leadership, but a $200K+ hire doesn't make sense at your stage. So you keep patching holes.
A senior design partner who ships.
I embed directly in your team on a fractional basis. No bloat. No overhead. Just focused design leadership and execution that drives real outcomes.
Fractional CPO
Strategic product design leadership without the full-time overhead. I join your team, own the design vision, and make sure every pixel serves the business.
Product Design
End-to-end product design from research through high-fidelity prototypes. User flows, wireframes, UI design, and interactive prototypes that ship.
Custom Development
When design meets code. Custom websites, web applications, and marketing pages built with modern frameworks and clean architecture.
Brand & Print
Visual identity systems, pitch decks, print collateral, and marketing design that makes your brand impossible to ignore.
From call to shipping product in days, not months.
Discovery Call
30-minute conversation about your product, your challenges, and where design leadership would have the highest impact.
Free — No strings attachedScope & Align
I audit your current state, identify quick wins and strategic priorities, and propose a clear engagement structure.
Typically 3–5 business daysEmbed & Execute
I plug into your tools, your rituals, your team. Same Slack channels. Same standups. Real-time collaboration, not async handoffs.
Flexible weekly commitmentShip & Iterate
Design work ships. We measure impact. We iterate. You get a design leader who cares as much about outcomes as you do.
Ongoing or project-basedDesign leader with 12+ years of experience shipping products that matter.
12+ years of shipping products that matter.
I've led design at startups that raised Series A, rebuilt product experiences at mid-market companies, and served as fractional CPO for teams that needed senior leadership without the full-time commitment.
My approach is simple: understand the business, understand the user, then design the shortest path between the two. No fluff. No design theater. Just work that ships and results you can measure.
When I'm not designing, I'm building — custom development, brand systems, and the kind of marketing design that makes people stop scrolling.
