Events & Community

I grow communities, too.

The same skills that fill a funnel fill a room. In 2011 I founded Cascade SF, a San Francisco community for designers, product managers, and engineers. With speakers, partners, and volunteers, I've produced 200+ events and 10 multi-day conferences, and built a community of 10,000+ people.

What I Bring

Expertise

A unique blend of design craft, growth strategy, and technical fluency

Growth Strategy & Experimentation

I drive growth through A/B testing, funnel analysis, and behavioral data — using product and content decisions as execution, not the starting point.

Full-Funnel Strategy

From acquisition to activation to retention, I build the strategy behind landing pages, onboarding, and lifecycle messaging that convert prospects into engaged users.

AI & Conversational Product Strategy

Deep experience building growth strategy for conversational AI interfaces, recommendation systems, and ML-powered features — driving adoption and trust at scale.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Skilled at leading product initiatives across design, engineering, marketing, content, and sales. I speak the language of business stakeholders while maintaining design and editorial excellence.

Community & Event Leadership

I build communities people return to. I lead events from concept to load-out, coach speakers 1:1, and align partners, venues, and volunteers around one plan.
