Coaching product experience teams

You can't plan your way to the right product

Products built by separate teams have gaps between hardware, software and support that customers notice. I coach companies to make complete product experiences by prototyping early, while mistakes are cheap. Prototyping is more accessible than ever thanks to 3D printing and AI. Letting us make our ideas concrete, so we can agree on how to continue together.

My own products

Looting Llama is a business I started to make smart PDFs for tabletop roleplaying games. Character sheets and tools that do the maths for players so that they can stay in the story. It started as an idea for my own table, and now over 4,000 people use my sheets.
