Summary
As an early-stage startup advisor and consultant, I apply a deep understanding of user research, consumer behavior, and market trends to help startups and VCs accelerate the path to product-market fit, identify white space opportunities, and build products in a more user-centered way. Ask me about early-stage user research practices, proprietary insights to identify white spaces and define new investment opportunities, and creating human-centered experiences at the intersection of design and emergent technology.
