I work with startups, founders, and growing businesses to shape the early experience — from customer journeys and SEO foundations to user interface planning and content strategy. Over the past 15 years, I’ve contributed to a wide range of digital projects, helping translate initial ideas into usable, scalable platforms. My role usually begins in the early stages — researching audience needs, aligning features with goals, and making sure the user experience makes sense from day one. I’m also passionate about building with purpose. Whether it’s integrating community-led initiatives or finding ways to give back behind the scenes, I believe business can be a force for good — and that small actions, done consistently, can have a meaningful impact.
