B2B digital MarketinG

AI-empowered digital marketing built around a single database.

Onboarded first 3 enterprise clients with design prototype, selected as a Cloudflare Launchpad Partner, seeking investors for their Seed round.

see case study

D2C Event Planning

Bringing people together while supporting local businesses.

Designs well received from user testing, but developer could not continue and we decided not to pursue funding. Just a fun side-project where I got to do some Design Thinking!

See Case Study

Education technology

Unifying a disjointed ecosystem into an accessible teacher toolset.

Used research and feedback to shift overall company priorities away from entrenched beliefs and toward a more attractive web-first product offering.

See case study

b2b customer service

Analyzing every customer interaction for agent training and real-time assistance.

Designs and team guidance during delivery built product that landed initial cohort of enterprise clients and $35M funding across Seed, Series A, and Series B.

healthcare technology

Centralizing patient notes for medical teams providing in-patient hospital care.

Became most used software tool in initial provider group, but the GTM tasks proved too time-consuming and expensive to continue as side-project (still fun side-project, though!)

B2B Customer service

Manging AI agent workforce to provide risk analyses according to policies.

Nothing came from this one either, I just liked the UI I put together for it! Founder/CEO struggled to find what he felt was a differentiated market position and so stopped the project.
