What I Do and How
Discover and Evaluate
At this point in my career I’ve learned that the biggest factors in enjoying the work are:
- Impact – Do I have the ability to drive significant impact?
- People – Do I enjoy working with the people who need to come together to make the impact?
- Interest – Is the challenge or opportunity interesting enough for me to do my best work?
The first step in any initiative or engagement is discovery. These are the things I evaluate before I shift into gear. I always take the time to align on exactly what needs to get done and what done looks like before I get started.
Collaboration
I like to work as part of your team. Add me to Slack, get me in Figma, etc. The more connected I am, the more value I’ll add. I’ve beenworking with remote teams for over a decade so I’m well versed in all of the communication, project management, and design tools you may be using (Slack, Figma, etc.)
Delivering Value
I like to ensure that every team I work with walks away with tangible value. To me, that means including artifacts or documentation that answer specific questions or provide clear guidance to ensure that my contributions are not held solely in the memory of the team I directly engaged with.

“What do you charge?”
I believe that focus and energy are more valuable than time, so I charge based on variables like:
- How interesting the opportunity/challenge is.
- How mature the company/team I’m working with is.
- The state of the product/service that we’re working on.
- The goals my partner is looking to achieve.
