  • altered (NYC startup)
    Product & Development Lead
    July 2025 - January 2026 (6 months)

    • • Designed UX/UI for web and mobile, iterating towards a Lite version with an MLP (Minimum Lovable Product) approach: we launched quickly with emotional value and technical viability, prioritizing learning over perfection
    • • Defined brand, tone, and visual guide, aligning product, communication, and marketing from the start
    • • Configured Google Tag Manager + Amplitude, defined North Star Metric and first acquisition KPIs
    • • Created concepts for landing pages and A/B tests to validate value proposition and messaging
  • Freelance
