Product UX That Activates Users

Most apps lose 60% of signups in the first week. I fix onboarding flows, dashboards, and user experiences that turn signups into paying customers.

Product Thinking, Not Just UI

I don't just make things pretty. I solve business problems.

Metric-Driven Design

Every design decision is tied to a business metric. Activation rate, retention, feature adoption - we measure what matters.

Full Journey Thinking

From first click to power user. I design the entire experience, not just individual screens in isolation.

Operator Experience

I've built products, hired designers, and worked with dev teams. I know how products actually get built and shipped.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between "design" and "UX optimization"?

Design makes things look good. UX optimization makes things work—specifically, work to activate users and reduce churn. Every decision I make is backed by user research and conversion data, not aesthetic preferences.

Do you work with our existing design system?

Yes. I can work within your existing system or create a new one. If you have established patterns, I'll extend them. If you're starting fresh, I'll build a system that scales.

How do you measure "activation improvement"?

We define your activation metric together at the start—could be trial-to-paid conversion, feature adoption, or time-to-value. Then we track it through your existing analytics. The 60-day guarantee is tied to measurable improvement.

Can you work with our engineering team directly?

Absolutely. I deliver specs that engineers can implement without guesswork, and I'm available for questions during development. Clean handoff is part of the process.

What if we only need a small fix, not a full redesign?

Start with a Conversion Audit ($1,000). I'll identify the highest-impact fixes and give you a prioritized roadmap. Sometimes one flow tweak is all you need.

Results Guaranteed
