Over a decade of design decisions for companies that can’t afford to get it wrong.
I have spent 10+ years leading product and design work across financial services, healthcare, telecom, and CPG environments where confusing experiences create real operational and financial risk.
Choose the problem you need to solve.
Work with Digital Vntures X on an AI product or design challenge, or build the judgment and influence required for your next career move.
Strategy & design leadership that meet you where you are.
Start with what fits your stage. Most teams move through more than one of these.
Fractional Design Leadership
You’ve got engineers and maybe a founder designing at 11 p.m., but nobody senior owning the experience. You can’t justify a full-time design leader yet, but you feel the gap every week. I step in 1–2 days a week as your product design lead: working with leadership on what to build, setting the experience strategy, and giving your design and engineering teams clear patterns to execute. Senior judgment and direction, without the full-time headcount.
AI-UX Consulting
You’ve integrated AI into your product. It demos well, but adoption is low, or you’re not sure why it is not moving the needle. We start with the DVX AI Humanization Index to find exactly where trust, clarity, control, or adoption is breaking down. From there, I run working sessions with you or your team to prioritize fixes, redesign key interactions, and decide where AI adds value.
AI Humanization Index Assessment
Pricing based on scope · Focused from $3,500 · Full Starting from $7,500You’ve shipped AI into production, but you do not have a clear read on how safe, understandable, or effective it is. The AI Humanization Index assesses AI products and workflows across 8 pillars. You receive a structured walkthrough, a clear rating band, and a prioritized fix list.
Product Sprint
Starting at $2,500/mo · 3-month minimumYou want to focus on one critical problem: the thing blocking the next raise, launch, or hire. You do not need a fractional head of design for six months. You need senior product and design judgment embedded in the problem until it is moving.
