About
I’ve helped 12 startups with product discovery, leveraging a mix of qualitative and quantitative UX research methods and improving key retention and satisfaction metrics by up to 80% in 2 months. My work has centered around new paradigms for how we connect with each other and with information (collaboration, social, learning.) My prior background as a software engineer and AI project lead empowers me to help companies make decisions about when and how to integrate AI in ways that align with human needs.
