WHAT I'M UP TO

I'm currently bootstrapping Studio Maya, a product studio, where I'm building an ifs-inspired journaling app while taking on occasional product design and strategy work.

My first product QueryCat peaked at $300MRR before I called it quits.

I also built this MVP of Fingo, duolingo for finance, which I designed and built alongside four others while completing a dev bootcamp after a decade of wondering if I could learn to code.

10 YEARS IN TECH

My journey has spanned various roles in tech and product design:

• Product design consultant through Toptal for startups like ClassDojo and RuthHealth (YC 21) and enterprise companies like Agoro Carbon Alliance, Applied Materials, and Ambry Genetics

• Product Manager at Xello, focusing on career readiness for students

• Design Lead at Roadmunk (acquired by Tempo) and Tiny Hearts (acquired by Shopify)

• Content Marketer at Shopify.

WRITING

In 2018, I dove into novel writing with no prior training. The result? Wrong Side of the Court, a multi-award nominated book that took me on a wild ride through the publishing industry.

Now, I'm co-writing its film adaptation with the talented Ari Gunnarsson.
