HELLO
I'm Hope
...an experienced and dynamic product professional and UX enthusiast, adept at leading and mentoring individuals and teams to design and develop outstanding user experiences. Let's connect!
Product Leader
Hiring for an interesting product or project? I'm always open to new opportunities if the fit is right - full time adventure, consulting, or contracting. With my unique background of product leadership and UX design skills, I'm not your average candidate. Let's team up and create something great!
Mentor
Seeking mentorship or guidance on a career in UX design or product management? I've been a mentor for several years both independently and through Springboard.com. My passion lies in empowering people to explore possibilities and unleash their full potential!
MY PROCESS: UNDERSTAND
It starts with a journey
Every great product starts with a thorough understanding of the user or customer's pain points, steps, and actions throughout their interaction with your business or product.
Rick, CEO
"I worked with Hope for over a year on large scale, complex product development projects. Hope is a talented product leader who brings a variety of experiences that allow her to successfully manage products as they flow through various lifecycle stages. From research & strategy, thru UX & UI design as well as software engineering, Hope knows how to relate to the different resources/teams to drive positive outcomes. She is a strong contributor who cares about the work, and more importantly cares about her team. She is well liked by her colleagues and clients, and, in my opinion, it is her big heart that is her most valuable asset."
MY PROCESS: IDEATE
Experiment and validate
Rapid prototyping, user testing and observations, quick feedback loops all lead to solutions that solve problems and delight users.
Brian, VP of Product
"Hope has been a thoughtful, reliable, and valued partner. She consistently gains the trust of stakeholders and has an open line of communication with them. They value her input and the way she manages her products. Her demeanor and willingness to jump in has made working with her extremely enjoyable. Her skills range from pure project management all the way through thoughtful product strategy. Her range of skills complements her range in working with different project types as witnessed by her ability to navigate the UX/UI space while supporting and managing the development queue. Her direction is clear and concise and her projects focused. I have really enjoyed the opportunities Hope and I have had to collaborate on projects and I look forward to continued partnerships."
MY PROCESS: DELIVER
Collaboration is key
The most successful products balance user needs with business goals and technology innovation. That doesn't happen in silos - it happens by bringing people together towards a common vision and executing on that vision.
JUAN, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING
"Hope is an amazing product leader. She understands the strengths and weaknesses of each team member and leverages them effectively to achieve the desired outcomes. Her enthusiasm and cheerful nature make the work environment more enjoyable and fosters a sense of camaraderie among team members. Hope's expertise in managing stakeholder relationships is invaluable. She establishes a strong relationship with them, earning their trust and confidence. Her excellent communication skills enable her to clearly convey ideas, gather feedback, and ensure that the business vision aligns with the project objectives."
