As a Business Development professional in the legal space, I offer a distinctive perspective that sets me apart from the traditional salesperson. My approach is informed by decades of experience in User Experience (UX) Research, Design and Testing, where I’ve honed my skills across diverse projects and business environments—from large corporations to boutique agencies, tech startups, consulting roles, and even co-founding ventures.Leveraging the same rigorous research methods and design thinking principles that were instrumental in shaping products and processes in UX, I now focus on addressing the specific business development needs within the legal industry. My methodologies revolve around a deep understanding of both business goals and client perspectives. By studying the nuances of how services are perceived, insights can be turned into actionable strategies that, through an iterative process, can be applied across all communication channels. This approach drives meaningful, user-centric solutions and delivers measurable results.For me, effective business development transcends mere connections and deal closures. It’s about creating impactful experiences, fostering genuine relationships, and solving real problems—leading to more successful businesses, and ultimately, more time, more money, and less stress.Outside of work, I’m a lifelong learner and teacher with a passion for adventure and creativity. I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, skiing, paddling, scuba diving, and fly fishing. These hobbies keep me energized and inspired, fueling both my professional and personal pursuits.
