About

I build products for real people, not pitch decks. I’m a product leader and co-founder with 6+ years of experience working across early-stage startups and growing businesses, shaping both B2C and B2B products - usually by asking annoying questions and caring a lot about the details that actually matter. I’m currently building Mattr, a dating app focused on neurodiverse inclusivity and helping people show up as themselves - not a perfectly curated version of who they think they should be. We’re trying to fix some of what’s broken in modern dating (no small task, apparently). My approach to product is fairly simple: talk to users, sweat the small stuff, ship, learn, repeat. I use data and AI where it genuinely helps to make better decisions, not to avoid making them, and I work closely with design, engineering, and commercial teams so 'product strategy' actually survives contact with reality. I like thoughtful consumer products, strong opinions held loosely, and teams that care about what they’re building - and why.
