The cheapest place to find a problem is before you build it.

I help product and marketing teams pressure-test ideas before they ship.
Through usability testing, customer interviews, surveys, heuristic reviews, card sorting, and concept validation with real users, the results are clear: fewer dead-end features, faster decisions, and the confidence to deploy the things actually worth building.

My Approach

Understand & Document The Experience

Service blueprints, journey maps, and empathy maps that show (on a single page) what your customer experience is and where/how it breaks down.

Solve The Right Problems

Most teams build the wrong thing because they never reframed the problem. I run "How might we…" sessions that turn vague complaints into specific, designable opportunities.

Prototype

Sketch or create lo & high fidelity prototypes quickly alongside users to align on what mental models are ideal or problematic.

Test & Validate Outcomes

Usability testing, surveys, card sorts, and heuristic evaluations, synthesized into findings your team can act on this sprint, and beyond.

Iterate with a Workshop

Align with a focused half-day session where we pull your team, your data, and your real customer problems into one room and leave with prioritized next steps.

Organize With The Right Architecture

Low-fidelity IA and content modeling for teams building (or rebuilding) a product or site from scratch; so navigation and naming reflect how users actually think.

How it works

Not sure if you need research, or what kind?
