Productivity Evangelist | Product Designer | Nocode App Developer 👉🏾 Follow me to learn how to live intentionally -> focus on the important stuff and create value with your time.

What if you can design the exact kind of life and future you want - one where you achieve the goals most important to you and create meaning & value in this world. 

I know what you're thinking
- I don't have time
- I easily get distracted from my goals

I understand. 

To live the life you desire, you must intentionally design it and consistently take actions required to create it. Everything else is a distraction.

Years of experience as a problem solver through product design and development has taught me a thing or two about intentionally designing and building the kind of life I want.

Now, I’m on an exciting adventure to fully live it and teach it.

Many years ago, I realized 2 things:
- My life wasn’t going as great as I’d like it to be
- I was gifted in and had comprehension for a lot of things but had so little result to show for it

This led me on a journey of self-discovery. Here’s what I found:
- I lacked self-awareness
- I wasn’t intentional about how I use the most precious resource we all have - TIME ⏲️
- Potential without productivity = waste. I wasn't creating

I was fed up and ready to make a change. I came out of that journey with a 35+ pages document about myself which will become a guide for others soon to do the same.

Today I am:
- Living an intentional life... by design
- Spending my time creating solutions for my world in the areas of my passion
- Teaching others to do the same

Don't believe me? Hear them:
- “The session really benefitted me as I was able to clarify my next steps to improving my productivity. You were extremely helpful in articulating the challenges, giving actionable advice and proffering solutions including suggesting useful tools to aid discipline and accountability all with great clarity and organized delivery.” - Chidinma, Canada
- “The session was helpful. When I joined, I was overwhelmed with the workload I had and it was hard to gauge my productivity level. By the end of the session, I felt lighter because all the tools necessary for me to achieve productivity were provided.” - Lilian, UAE

Improving Medtech software ➤ Advancing UX careers with storytelling @ uxstorytelling.io/course ➤ UX Consultant ➤ UX Designer & Educator

In 20 years as a UX/UI designer I've shipped hundreds of apps, websites, and features for big tech companies like Amazon and Motorola all the way down to tiny startups being run from a garage. 

5 years into my career I co-published an article about Agile UX work a colleague and I were doing at a broadcast retail company.

That led to several speaking engagements, and 1.5 years later I was in Seattle presenting the design for Kindle for iPhone 1.0 to Jeff Bezos.

I worked at Amazon for 6 years where I:

→ Designed and shipped dozens of Kindle reading apps used by millions
→ Got promoted 3 times
→ Managed and lead teams
→ Worked on highly visible "special projects"
→ Presented to Jeff Bezos and other execs more times than I can remember
 
And then I got burned out. 

So to recover I co-founded a tech startup. This is not a joke. This is also probably not advice I would give to anyone. 

The startup fizzled out quickly but it was my first exposure to entrepreneurship and I was hooked.

I didn't know what to do, I just knew I wanted to continue being out on my own.

With the help of others I started contracting. Over time that grew into a 7 figure design firm called Stepladder. 

Things about Stepladder that I'm proud of:

→ Short but impressive list of long time clients. We form partnerships.
→ 100% referral based
→ 100% of clients are repeat clients
→ Experienced designers come here to have more freedom in their life
→ Younger designers come here to get started and learn

I never dreamed that I would speak at conferences, work at a big tech name, or start companies. Yet here I am 20 years later incredibly fortunate, full of gratitude, sometimes a bit tired, and having learned:

→ You can't do it alone
→ Helping people is the best part of this job

I share what I've learned over the years here on LinkedIn and work with clients at www.stepladderUX.com.

Thanks for reading.
