Designing amazing SaaS products for CEOs and founders through product & visual design 🚀 Design Strategy | Product Design | Design System

Don't let your product validation or MVP be overshadowed. 

As a founder among many, you aim to attract attention, draw in users, and secure investment. You need more than just an MVP; you need a strategic approach that incorporates focus into your product idea. 

The typical MVP creation process can lead to: 

• Delayed market fit 
• Vague product direction 
• Financial difficulties 

(Insights from Forbes.) 

What you're looking for is: 

• A product that resonates with users 
• Funding to realize your vision 
• The right expertise to develop your MVP 

What you really need is: 

• To clearly understand your ideal user's needs 
• To craft and validate the right solution 
• To test a simple yet compelling product experience before a full-scale launch 

This is where I come in. 

With a career that spans from graphic design to digital innovation, including the launch of four companies, I've honed my skills to support your mission. After facing burnout in late 2022, I dedicated myself to making MVPs accessible for all founders. 

Here’s how I can help you: 

1. Pinpointing your ideal user's core needs 
2. Defining an exceptional user experience 
3. Streamlining the MVP development process 
4. Crafting prototypes that speak to your audience 
5. Efficiently launching your product to the market 

Addressing startup challenges by:

🔹 Offering cost-effective MVP design solutions
🔹 Reducing development time significantly
🔹 Simplifying complex MVPs for clear, impactful results 

If you're navigating the pre-seed or seed stage and struggling with your MVP strategy, my complimentary MVP review is designed for you.

I was brought in to transform an under-resourced SaaS prototype into a market-ready product and a revenue-generating business.

- Revamped engineering operations by implementing Agile methodologies, streamlined documentation, and GitHub Actions with CI/CD. This reduced release lead time from multi-week manual builds to on-demand deployments in under three minutes.
- Delivered the first stable production release within 14 days of joining, overcoming a six-month development bottleneck and restoring stakeholder confidence.
- Built and mentored an 8-person cross-functional team (Front-End, Back-End, QA, UX). I implemented individualized growth plans, which resulted in 0% voluntary attrition and a 25% increase in productivity.
- Conducted numerous customer interviews to prioritize pain points, creating a stabilization roadmap that significantly improved product satisfaction.
- Collaborated with the sales team to develop a compelling value narrative that helped close the company’s first three paying customers, generating $8,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR).
- Consolidated cloud infrastructure on AWS EKS, cutting monthly spending by 30% while achieving 99.9% uptime.
- Fostered a remote-first culture through weekly demos, virtual social events, and an annual on-site meeting to maintain team morale.

- Secured $1 million in seed funding from Y Combinator and prominent angel investors
- Built and led a cross-functional team of twelve developers, designers, and contractors, establishing a remote-first culture and implementing agile practices that accelerated product delivery threefold.
- Led full-stack development from conception to deployment, personally coding the first MVP version, designing databases, building services, and implementing comprehensive testing suites.
- Designed a monolithic RESTful architecture using PHP/Laravel and PostgreSQL, which supports over 1,000 task notifications with 100 active users with 99% uptime.
- Integrated BIM for small and medium-sized construction firms, providing enterprise-level tools that were previously only available to large companies.
- Conducted over 30 user interviews with construction professionals to identify key pain points and shape the product roadmap.
- Transformed user insights into actionable features by aligning customer needs with technical implementation. Collaborated closely with the design team to create an intuitive UI/UX.  
- Reduced construction material costs for customers by approximately 15% through an innovative marketplace integration that includes real-time inventory tracking.  
- Minimized project delays by 75% by implementing proactive inventory management and automated procurement workflows.

I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world challenges in traditional industries. I am open to connecting with investors, construction innovators, and engineers who are interested in transforming the $12 trillion construction industry.
