Director / VP roles

Product-led companies, Series A through pre-IPO. This is the primary fit.

Advising / fractional

Seed through Series B. Design ops, AI strategy, hiring loops, voice as a system.

AI product consulting

Through Simple Cortex. Northern Virginia, remote, federal-friendly.

The clearest way to reach me is email. I read everything that comes in, and I prefer messages that are specific over messages that are polished. If you are hiring, building, or thinking out loud about a design org or an AI product, I want to hear about it.

What I am open to

  • Senior design and product leadership roles.
  • Advising and fractional engagements with seed, Series A, and Series B teams.
  • AI product strategy consulting via Simple Cortex.
  • Speaking, panels, and podcast invitations on design leadership, AI-native product work, and operating models.

How to reach me

Based in Northern Virginia, USA. I work on US Eastern time.

What to include in the first message

A short note with these four lines saves us a round trip and tells me whether I am the right fit:

  • Company and stage. Name, stage (seed, Series A, Series B, public), and a one-line description.
  • Role or engagement. Full-time, fractional, advisory, consulting, speaking, or "still thinking."
  • Timeline. When you want to talk, when you want to decide, and when the work would start.
  • What brought you here. A case study, a recommendation, a referral, or a specific question. This helps me reply with something useful instead of generic.

Response expectation

I respond within one to two business days. If you do not hear back within a week, resend. Email gets buried, not ignored.

What I am not the right fit for

I am not the right fit for pure visual or marketing-design contracts, agency-style production work, or roles that want a designer to execute against a fixed spec without a seat at the strategy table. If that is the brief, there are people I can refer you to.
