My Skills

There are a lot of moving parts when creating a product. Over the last 14 years I've acquired knowledge that you can only learn from experience. I'm a firm believer that great products are constantly improved by monitoring user behavior, sentiment, and meeting with customers. The improvements that are made from data-informed decisions provide users with brilliant experiences that keep them coming back for more. Driving innovation in the customer experience of digital products is my passion.
