Work With Me
I've spent 25 years building products and teams at companies like The New York Times, Shopify, Fanatics, and Volvo. I've founded agencies, led transformations, and figured out a lot of things the hard way. I even wrote a pretty damn good book about it. Now, I help other design leaders skip some of the pain.
