Over the years, I have been approached to facilitate design thinking workshops, exercises and MVP scoping for early-stage apps to guide product market fit, evaluate feature viability and align product vision with user pain points and business goals. I am known for bridging design, strategy, and storytelling to drive product clarity, user engagement, and business growth. I am no stranger to MVP visioning and market definition for early-stage apps, adding strategic consulting to my design foundation. I have acted as UX advisor and strategist across teams, conducting QA, providing technical documentation, bug triage, and development hand-off specs to ensure clarity and continuity. I have enjoyed this work so much because I find myself happiest doing big picture thinking work, I've found my voice and have generated the confidence to advocate for my ideas.
While some products have launched, others remain a MVP while others fail to achieve product market fit and scale
These projects have granted me with the opportunity of added income stream, added variety to my resume and portfolio as well as opportunities to lead ideas and develop communication skills. Putting myself out there to to volunteer, be invited to guest speak and think beyond Design.

ExecChef
RoseHouse is a catering company based in Naples, FL. It is a partnership between a Businessman and a Chef, both owning their best skills to run a successful business. Unfortunately, the operation runs on a Airtable logic, Google Forms and Quickbook automations and it still won't keep a busy hands on culinary staff accountable for their deadlines.

They want to upgrade to an interface that can loop in all resources, streamline the operations and keep up with them on the field to focus on providing their clients a delicious experiences and wonderful party memories.

Pop-up vendors are the creative soul of Austin—but without storefronts, staying visible can feel impossible. That’s where FLIT comes in. FLIT is a dynamic, web-based map that helps local vendors promote their events affordably while making it easy for Austinites to discover and support them. They empower makers, chefs, and artists to own their narrative and be found—every day, all across town—no digging through social feeds required. The mission is to make supporting local much easier and less about guessing/digging for information/chasing vendor pop up schedules and making this data accessible and bridging the gap between vendors and Austinite business supporters.
