My Approach

Making Complex Projects Manageable

With over two decades in UX and product strategy, I’ve worked in high-stakes environments where clarity and alignment make the difference between success and failure. My expertise helps teams make informed decisions at every stage.

Before your project starts

Helping Teams Define Goals & Build the Right Foundation

​Many teams struggle with where to start. I work with stakeholders to clarify objectives, assess team skills, and map a clear path forward.

  • Decode Agile vs. Waterfall methodologies

  • Guide hiring and team-building decisions

  • Help translate complex ideas into actionable plans

  • Support pitch development for funding

  • Align leadership on design priorities​

Early stages of a project

Research, Strategy & Design Foundations

At this stage, I help teams understand user needs, align stakeholders, and define the best approach.

  • Conduct stakeholder interviews and user research

  • Develop personas, workflows, and journey maps

  • Facilitate cross-functional collaboration

  • Ensure a strong foundation for design and development

  • Identify behavioral data that may exist​

Middle to late stages of a project

Refining, Testing & Ensuring Team Alignment

As the project moves toward implementation, I ensure teams stay aligned and make informed design decisions.

  • Guide usability testing and feedback loops

  • Share best practices for design documentation & handoff

  • Help teams avoid roadblocks and miscommunication

  • Support rollout strategies across distributed teams

  • Navigate compliance and legal checkpoints​

After your project has gone live

Iteration, Performance & Continuous Improvement

Post-launch, I help teams analyze data, refine experiences, and plan for future growth.

  • Interpret behavioral metrics and user feedback

  • Support backlog prioritization and iterative improvements

  • Help teams sustain long-term product success

  • Balance short-term fixes with long-term UX strategy

​​

My goal is to make complex projects manageable, ensure teams work effectively, and create user-centered solutions that drive results. No matter the stage of your project, I bring clarity, alignment, and strategic insight to move it forward.
