I'm an independent Product Design Strategist helping organizations turn product strategy into products people actually use — through strategic design and service design.

By combining strategic design, service design, and product thinking, I help leadership teams reduce uncertainty, align stakeholders, and make better product decisions.

Most product failures aren't design problems — they're decision problems. I help leadership teams fix that.
