I uncover the answers beauty brands need to make better product decisions.

I work with founders and established brands to understand what drives consumer behavior, identify performance gaps, and determine opportunities for change through real-world testing grounded in 15 years of working directly with products and consumers.

Areas of Focus

Each is designed to answer a different product question at key decision points.
  • Concept Development
    Clarify whether a product idea solves a real problem and deserves further investment.

  • Performance Analysis
    Understand how a product actually performs in real-world use and whether claims hold up.

  • Customer Insights & Market Review
    Identify who the product resonates with, why, and where it fits within the current market.

  • Product Course Correction
    Diagnose what’s not working and determine what to fix, adjust, or stop.

  • Fractional Product & Innovation Leadership
    Ongoing strategic guidance for brands managing multiple product decisions or growth phases.

Problems emerge when performance, positioning, and consumer behavior aren't evaluated as a system. What works in theory doesn't hold up in practice. What sounds compelling doesn't drive repurchase. What seemed obvious in development misses the mark in market.

My work connects these elements. I test how products actually perform, uncover what drives consumer decisions, and identify gaps while you still have options—during concept development, refinement, or diagnosing performance issues.
