A little about me

I help designers and founders win.

If you're a designer aiming to make a lot more money, or a founder trying to nail that perfect product-market fit and scale up, that's where I come in.

I've taught over 10,000 designers from giants like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Atlassian.

And my clients?

They've raked in over $350 million in venture capital and also made a bit of an impact with hundreds of millions of users. We've even celebrated some huge wins, like when AutoTrader got bought up by eBay or when PhoneWagon was acquired by their direct competitor.

Both projects were ones I led from day zero.

Nowadays, I've expanded beyond just UX/UI Design and have been bootstrapping businesses, creating courses to pass on the design wisdom, and investing in early-staged startups.

Mostly, I spend my days teaching on YouTube, creating the best online design courses, investing and advising early-staged startups, though I still love to roll up my sleeves and dive into a project from time to time. So if you are interested, you can get in touch.
