learn more about me

I was once where you are right now - I never got a computer science degree. My formal education is in theatre arts and psychology - before my first tech job, I had no clue how software came to be. 

I began to work with experienced (and patient!) mentors who helped to guide me through the industry’s twists and turns through my first projects. Over time, I’ve mastered the process - and I’ve realized that my talents for sharp thinking, enthusiastic storytelling, and my ability to build strong relationships can help any entrepreneur or practitioner bring their visions for products to life.

I’ve worked to build 30+ products spanning all types of industries and phases of growth, from early-stage healthcare startups to booming financial giants. I’ve conducted bold experiments, worked through complex decision-making, and celebrated many wins - while also learning from mistakes.

I’ve been offering tailored advice and expertise to passionate product people for years - now, I'd like to use my experience to help you.
