Hello,
A nerd at heart with a passion for craft, I obsess over how things work and get a thrill from developing products & services that function in mindful & user centric ways.
With a bachelor in design & an executive MBA, I managed to find that sweet spot where I get to play with how something works, the value it brings and the stories behind it. :)
How can I help?
I help Start ups & SMEs develop, test, validate & launch new products & services or uplift existing ones.
My discipline is anchored in design thinking. I focus on developing problem solving methodologies closely with the people I work with, empowering brands to continue iterating after our collaboration is completed. Below are the areas I can help with:
Problem/Solution fit
Minimum Viable Product Development
Pitch / Investor Decks
