Advisory Retainer
Get answers fast. Monthly, 24-7 access to me about design, product management, UI/UX design, data viz, and more for ML apps and data products.
Designing useful, usable, beautiful data products customers find indispensable is challenging.
Learning things the hard way can be extremely costly.
Your ML, data science, analytics, or engineering efforts need to show results, and if there are humans in the loop, then how you design the last-mile experience can have a huge impact on your ability to produce value. You don't want to produce a technically correct but effectively wrong solution that produces little to no value, and that's where my retainer can help if you think you're going to have design, UI/UX, research, product, or strategy questions along the way.
