THE WHAT
Defining My Discipline
Every product leader is different and comes with a special skillset that’s additive to a greater whole. I love collaborating with smart folks on complex projects.
Vision
It’s the foundation of where all my projects begin and gives breath to the higher purpose that aligns and drives teams.
Strategy
A vision without a plan isn’t much good. A strong roadmap delivers those clear milestones that take a project from concept to creation.
Design
Thinking through UX and UI problems was where I first found a love for building products. It remains one of my favorite parts of the process.
Analytics
Good product decisions emerge from understanding what users are doing and trusting the data you have built your hypotheses on.
User Research
Understanding user behaviors, needs, and motivations by speaking and listening to customers is the path to success.
Release Management
None of it matters unless you ship it! Managing a backlog, prioritizing work, and releasing valuable features makes or breaks a product.
THE WHERE
Deep Dive Into My Past
The only way to gut check whether we’d be great collaborators is to learn more about my past. Take a look, see what you see, and if you’re feeling it, please leave me a note.
