The UX leadership your product needs, without the full-time hire.

I embed into your leadership team, diagnose where the experience is costing you revenue, and tell you exactly what to fix and in what order.

How it works

1. Book a 30-minute call

No slides, no pitch. A structured diagnosis of your product's experience layer.

2. Get a UX Scorecard

Walk away with a severity-rated snapshot of your onboarding, activation, retention, and reactivation experience.

3. Decide if fractional fits

If it's the right model for your stage, we scope a retainer. If not, you keep the scorecard.

Who this is for

  • Growth-stage companies ($2M–$50M) with no dedicated UX leader
  • Founders preparing for a board meeting, raise, or investor due diligence
  • Product teams that ship fast but can't explain why customers churn
  • CEOs who've tried agencies and gotten mockups, not strategy

Who this is not for

  • Companies that need a full-time Head of UX (I can help you hire one)
  • Teams looking for someone to push pixels or build wireframes
  • Pre-revenue startups without product-market fit

Your fractional advisor

16 years at the intersection of product strategy and customer experience. I've worked with brands like Telstra, Myer, Flybuys, and Versent to diagnose why customers churn and build the systems that fix it. I don't design screens, I sit at the leadership level, translating customer needs into board-legible strategy and telling the team exactly what to fix and in what order.
