I'm not like other consultants you've worked with. We form a strategic partnership that endures. While the project may only take a few months, the results you reap will last the entire lifetime of your business.
You'll get a strong perspective forged in years of building UX and product across a multitude of industries. I'm your sounding board, confidante, and advisor. I speak the languages of leadership, product, design, development, sales, customer support, and finance.
My methods stretch far beyond the typical design-focused fare. I combine my deep knowledge of games, technology, persusasion, social dynamics, psychology, personal improvement, physical fitness, professional wrestling (that's right, professional wrestling), combat sports, and history to deliver a fascinating and engaging brand of strategic energy.
You'll get the best results when I'm leading the strategy operation for the duration of our project. I work alone at my consultancy (Cuttingboard Design Inc.), but we will pull in UX, UI, research, and development experts from my extensive network to augment your projects as needed.
I'm located in southern Maine, and most of our project will take place remotely. However, I love to get out to meet you and your partners, customers, and associates at key points during the project. I'm also thrilled to run custom workshops on-site for you and your team.
I'm able to offer flexible pricing on a flat-rate or retainer basis. I do not offer hourly-rate project pricing. High-impact UX and product strategy work is best achieved with strong buy-in from all parties.
Most clients need something to come together in the short term to spur action toward a business outcome in the future. We will deliver direction that you can develop immediately while we keep your big business goals in focus.
Our projects typically range from 2 to 6 months. Intensity, focus, drive, and clear constraints produce optimal outcomes.
While our time together in the trenches may be short, it is my mission and core value to leave every client with a strong foundation and playbook to continue the path toward product success. I love re-engaging with clients further down the road to see how they've evolved and get back into the process to shape the next round of UX and product work.
