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 looking for a UX/UI designer to help you nail 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 $450 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 at Designership, helping teams design products at lightning speed with Shipfaster UI, helping other visionaries build profitable products (and businesses) and investing and advising early-staged startups. So if you are interested, you can get in touch.
