I optimize underperforming products and user experiences by fixing what your customers won’t say, but feel.

Strategy. UX. Product. Let’s cut the noise and get to the value

Who do I Serve

I work with entrepreneurs, founders, and accelerators — across tech and non-tech businesses — to unlock growth.

BY FIXING THE ROOT CAUSE OF PRODUCT, UX, OR STRATEGY ISSUES, WE RAPIDLY IMPROVE ACTIVATION, RETENTION, AND REVENUE.

WHETHER YOU RUN A SERVICE-BASED BUSINESS, A DIGITAL PRODUCT, OR A TECH STARTUP, I HELP YOU REPACKAGE YOUR OFFER, ALIGN YOUR STRATEGY, AND BUILD EXPERIENCES USERS DON’T WANT TO LEAVE.

RETHINK.
REPACKAGE.
RETAIN
.

We uncover what’s actually blocking growth — through behavioral research, audits, and sharp product sense.

We align strategy, messaging, UX, onboarding, and overall experience around your users’ deepest triggers,  aha moments, so they activate and stick around.

We focus on building value — not bloated features and offers. Using research and data, we optimize your product and experience to build loyalty and increase revenue.

SERVICES

Entrepreneurs and Founders

Fix what's actually blocking growth — unclear offers, poor user experience, misaligned strategy.

Whether tech or non-tech, get hands-on consulting and co-pilot guidance to rapidly audit, optimize, and bring clarity to what drives activation, retention, and revenue.

Designers, Design Teams & Educational Institutions

Turn months of design work into compelling stakeholder presentations.

Learn UX storytelling, confident pitching, and how to read the room to drive decisions. Whether individual, team, or institution — we teach what design schools won't but stakeholders desperately need.

I’ve been building products since I was 12.

Yes, that's my mug during my 1:1 with you

By 16, I launched my first business. That early start shaped my mindset: entrepreneurial, fearless, and always learning. I’ve failed, gone bankrupt, and watched both my own ventures and others crumble. But I’ve also been on the other side — succeeding in ventures, helping startups become unicorns, raising millions with barely any users, and turning ideas into revenue.

Those highs and lows? They taught me everything I know about what works, what doesn’t, and what truly moves the needle.

​Over the past 15+ years, I’ve optimized over 110 products — from AI to CleanTech, SmartCities to EduTech. I’ve worked across industries, raised product value, and helped startups raise millions. My approach? Direct, research-driven, and strategically sharp.
