Fintech onboarding that lost 68% of users before the first transaction.
A Series B neobank hired me six weeks before launch. Their onboarding had been built by engineers following a compliance checklist. The result: a 14-step flow, three identity verification dead ends, and a drop-off cliff at step four.

Twelve product teams. Zero shared vocabulary.
A 300-person SaaS company had grown by acquisition. Three separate design teams, four codebases, and a brand that looked different on every surface. The brief: build one design system to unify all of it — without stopping the product roadmap.

The checkout that cost $2.4M in annual GMV.
A consumer marketplace's checkout had a 71% abandonment rate. The engineering team had already A/B tested button colors and copy. What they hadn't done: watch a single user try to check out. I spent two days in sessions. The problem was cognitive, not visual.
