… & countless other projects and hours of private consulting, training, workshops, research interviews, teaching at top creative schools, mentoring emerging and advanced designers, and continuous self-education.
I guide founders & executives from 1 to N, helping them launch products, ideate, and cultivate brands that resonate with their core missions.
For businesses that reached their product-market fit, I craft strategies to streamline communication and product design, elevating creative teams from chaos to a comfortable rhythm.
I step in as a temporary co-founder in early-stage startups, managing product design, branding, and HR with minimal resource use.
Within corporations, I typically lead SWAT-style design teams to test new hypotheses before entering new markets, reporting directly to top executives.
