About

With over two years as a Founder and Product Design Consultant, I specialize in helping founders and product leaders navigate complex systems, including growth funnels, onboarding, and design systems. Leveraging expertise in executive leadership, strategic design consulting, and visual design, I offer fractional design leadership, hands-on product design, and strategic advisory services to startups and mid-market companies. My approach is rooted in first principles and systems thinking, enabling teams to simplify challenges, streamline processes, and deliver measurable results. I also mentor photographers and design professionals, sharing insights on ethical fieldcraft, storytelling, and sharpening their craft through workshops and mentorship programs.
