Helping Teams Design Better, Together

I partner with organizations to build human-centered products and practices that last — through hands-on consulting, workshops, and strategic design leadership.

Design Thinking Workshops

Teams looking to solve complex problems through structured creative methods.

What's Included

  • Facilitated sessions (half-day to multi-day)
  • Custom exercises tailored to your challenge
  • Stakeholder alignment activities
  • Actionable output documents and next steps

Your team walks away with a shared understanding of the problem, validated concepts, and a clear path forward.

Human-Centered Design Strategy

Organizations embedding HCD practices into their product development process.

What's Included

  • UX maturity assessment
  • HCD framework design
  • Team coaching and capability building
  • Process integration and measurement frameworks

A sustainable HCD practice your team can maintain — not a one-time workshop, but lasting capability.

Product Design Leadership

Product teams that need experienced design direction for critical initiatives.

What's Included

  • Design leadership and direction
  • User research strategy
  • Design system guidance
  • Team mentorship and stakeholder facilitation

Your product ships with confidence — grounded in user research, aligned with business goals, and executed with design excellence.

Innovation Consulting

Leaders driving new product development or organizational transformation.

What's Included

  • Innovation sprints
  • Opportunity mapping and concept validation
  • Strategic roadmapping
  • Executive alignment sessions

Clarity on where to innovate, confidence in the direction, and a roadmap your team can execute.

Common Questions

How do you typically scope an engagement?
Every engagement starts with a conversation. I listen to understand your challenge, goals, and constraints — then propose a scope that makes sense. No cookie-cutter packages.
Do you work with remote teams?
Absolutely. While I'm based in DFW, I work with teams across the country. Workshops can be facilitated in person or virtually, and ongoing consulting works seamlessly over video.
What industries do you work with?
I've worked across healthcare, financial services, technology, consumer products, and more. The principles of Human-Centered Design apply universally — the context changes, but the approach is adaptable.
How is your approach different from a design agency?
Agencies deliver work product. I deliver capability. My goal is to leave your team stronger and more confident, not dependent on external help.
What does a typical timeline look like?
Workshops can be as short as a half-day. Embedded partnerships typically run 2–6 months. Advisory retainers are ongoing. We'll find the right fit for your situation.
