I'm a self-taught Senior Product Design Consultant (aka freelancer), ex-Digital Nomad, now I work remotely from warmer climates in the winters. My last contract was with Warner Music, which owns record labels with artists such as Madonna and The Notorious BIG, where I led the Product Design for the business application Warner uses to license its music globally. I've also worked on a bunch of web and mobile apps for Microsoft, Deloitte, Caterpillar, the United States federal government, Kendall Jenner, NYSE-listed companies, and a Silicon Valley startup acquired by Amazon. I've also worked as a full-time Agile Scrum product manager in a Y-Combinator team (fun fact, founded by now-famous ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman), and I had my own startup as well. End users of my designs have included millions of consumers, as well as PayPal, Hilton Hotels, and the County of Los Angeles.
