Ensuring your product connects with users, customers and investors.

I'm Cliff, a design leader who transforms business challenges into success stories.

Over 15+ years crafting digital experiences, I've learned that great design is about shaping narratives that drive business growth. As a founding designer at two startups and a leader across agencies, venture studios, and in-house teams, I help companies turn complex problems into compelling solutions.
‍
Every business challenge is a story waiting to be told. The best design creates memorable experiences that deliver results. Today, I partner with early-stage companies to build products that solve real, well-defined problems.
