Product Design Leader & Strategist

I shape strategy, build teams, lead design, and bring digital products to life.

Nice to meet you

I build products people love, from strategy and design through to shipped code.

For two decades I have solved hard product and design problems, from Meta, Amazon, and Yahoo! to early-stage startups. Today I run Collaya, a music tech company I founded out of two obsessions: writing songs, and the tools that make them better. I release my own music as noka.

I care about people and real user needs, and I balance that against the metrics that grow a business.

Available now for fractional work across music, creative, AI, IoT, and automotive. Hit me up if you'd like to rock out. 🤘
