About

You've built something technically solid. People sign up, but then get stuck. Not sure what to do next, where to click or why they should care. Support tickets pile up, trials drop off and demos don't quite land. Your product has everything they need - they just can't figure out how to use it. Meanwhile, you're spending money on marketing to bring people in, but UX is losing you customers on the other end. And the longer you wait, the harder it gets. Because now you've got users, legacy patterns, and a product that works but feels clunky. After 7+ years working with 30+ B2B SaaS teams, here's what I know: Most engineering teams aren't set up to solve UX problems. So users get confused, stuck, and leave before they see value. The good news is that fixing it doesn't take months of research or endless cycles. It usually just needs someone who's seen this before and knows what actually moves the needle. I partner with B2B SaaS founders (typically Seed to Series A) who've built something powerful but know the UX hasn't kept up. I don't disappear for weeks and come back with a big reveal. I move fast, ship meaningful improvements in the first week, and focus on stuff that matters - better onboarding, higher conversions, lower churn. Here's what that's meant for clients: - SendX - 25% uplift in trial-to-paid conversions, 2× growth in mid-market ACV, 4.6/5 rating on Capterra - SiteGuru - 30% revenue increase within one month of launching the redesign, awarded "Most Easy-to-Use SEO Tool" on G2 and Capterra (4.8/5 rating from 200+ users) - Ring4 - Went from 0 to first paying customers after product relaunch, faster go-to-market execution during critical growth phase I've personally reviewed 200+ SaaS products and worked directly inside product teams with founders and PMs. If your product's confusing people and slowing down growth, let's chat.

  • I work with B2B SaaS companies whose products are technically solid but losing users before they ever see the value or become paying customers.
  • Most of my clients come to me after realising people sign up, get confused, and leave before they see the value. Then support tickets pile up and trial-to-paid conversions stay flat. The team knows something's wrong but not exactly where.
  • I fix that.
  • I identify exactly where users are dropping off and why. From there I redesign the screens and workflows causing the necessary friction. Every decision is tied to a business outcome, reducing churn, improving trial-to-paid conversion, cutting support volume etc.
  • Clients I've worked with include RealTyme, SendX, Ascend, and 30+ others across fintech, productivity, and B2B tools. Recent results include a 30% revenue increase for SiteGuru and a 25% trial-to-paid uplift for SendX.
