PRODUCT CONSULTING

For purposeful founders who want to do it their way from the start

Woman founder

You're building something meaningful, something necessary. But right now, you're tired of tech processes that ignore human needs.

Of teams that burn out chasing metrics that don't matter. Of building products that perpetuate the same broken systems you're trying to fix.

I help founders step fully into their power as leaders who build with intention. Who understand that discovery comes before development. Who know that diverse teams create better outcomes for everyone.

or online service but don’t know where to start

Why work with me

With over 15 years in digital product strategy, I've guided founders from concept to launch across health tech, enterprise SaaS, and beyond.

What makes my work different: I believe strategy and empathy must work together. Strategy without care leads to hollow solutions. Care without strategy never scales. I bring both.
