Great products need invisible foundations

I design those foundations using service blueprints, customer journeys, personas, and processes that help teams build better products and experiences.

About

    Workflow & Design Audit

    I run in-depth audits that help you see clearly what’s happening inside your organisation. Through workshops, interviews, and data reviews, I map your internal landscape and give you a plan for improvement.

    Ethical Business Strategy

    Doing good work means doing it right.

    I help you reflect on how your systems, processes, and practices align with your values, and with respect for customers, team members, and partners and teams. The result: an ethical way of doing business.

    Internal Processes Design

    Great work depends on great systems.

    Using service blueprints, decision models, and other frameworks, I drive the design of the internal processes that make things work.

    User-Centric Design

    What people see, the brand, the product, the service, rests on what they don’t: a user-centric design.

    I help you build the invisible structures that hold everything together: user journeys, personas, research frameworks, user flows.
