Consulting
Understand the problem.
Shape what comes next.
I help people understand how their work happens, connect the evidence, and shape a direction they can use. That can mean research, workflow and service design, information architecture, or a bounded product or systems project.
Where I can contribute
01Research, workflows, and service design
Understand how work moves between people and systems. Bring interviews, observations, business rules, and handoffs into a shared view of the problem.
At Sedgwick, I mapped field inspection and claims reporting to inform a proposed app and its supporting process.
02Content strategy and information architecture
Organize information around what people need to understand and do. Clarify labels, page responsibilities, and the paths between useful pieces of content.
The Mondelēz case connects business goals, content, and user paths. U.S. Bank shows related work carried into a website redesign.
03Product design and shared systems
Turn a direction into interactions, reusable patterns, and guidance a team can use. Define the behavior, conditions, and exceptions that a screen alone cannot explain.
Pride at AliveCor brought shared components and behavior into product work. RLI’s bond workflow required detailed guidance for implementation.
04AI-assisted working methods
Review the work, context, data, and human decisions before choosing an AI tool or workflow. I share lessons from current experiments and can help investigate a bounded use case.
The workflow-audit article applies service-blueprint thinking to the instructions and handoffs in an AI-assisted process.
Working together
We begin with your situation and the work already available: research, business rules, support issues, prototypes, or an existing product. Together, we identify the question to resolve and agree on the scope.
I take on selective consulting where the work, available time, and capability fit. My contribution may include advice, research, design, prototyping, or a scoped build. We agree on responsibilities before committing to delivery; ongoing operation needs its own agreement.
The output follows its next use. That might be a workflow to resolve with stakeholders, a prototype to test, or guidance for implementation. The handoff makes the decisions and remaining questions clear to the people continuing the work.
