Product development

Expert Experience at AI Velocity

I create experiences.

I take businesses from generating ideas to delivering engaging digital products, bringing my decades of experience and smartly integrating the latest AI tools.

I partner with clients from concept through launch on mobile apps, AI agents, web-based businesses, connected devices, AR interfaces, platform tools and more.

I specialize in useful and delightful.

Product strategy

Great products start by doing one thing savagely well. Using Design Thinking, I help clients create solutions to real human problems.

Experience architecture

I analyze user behavior, map user journeys, and optimize interfaces and interactions that attract and retain users.

Rapid prototyping

I create fully interactive prototypes utilizing AI at a pace that aligns stakeholders and drives innovation and momentum.

Visual thinking

I lead clients through a visual thinking process that fosters creativity and drives a nimble and dynamic development process.

Agentic AI integration

With use-case framing and prompt design, I help teams develop full-fledged AI products — far beyond floating chatbots.

AI workflow consulting

I assess your process, identify the moments where AI tools create real leverage, and put a practical integration plan in place.

I’m a partner not an agency.

I partner with clients on specific product initiatives or on an ongoing basis throughout multiple development cycles. Because every product roadmap is different I adapt to your needs rather than ask that you adopt a process.

I work directly with your team–whether internal or outsourced–and your preferred AI tools. If you’re looking for resources, I can help find the right team or onboard the right AI platform for your project.

My approach is at its core:

Holistic

Context matters. Products should be developed with the entire user journey in mind.

Iterative

Rapid, focused cycles accelerated by AI create sustainable, successful innovation.

Flexible

Embracing the fluidity of development ends up saving time and producing better product.

I work with big names & small upstarts.

I work with clients from content creators to consumer brands, AI to AR, social media to sport, e-commerce to e-giving, blockchain to B2B. Below is a small selection of clients with whom I’ve worked. For engagement details, contact me.

I love what I do.

Drawing on decades of experience in product development and a track record of innovation, I help companies create breakthrough digital products that drive success and user delight.

Getting Started: Disney and CNET

Digital media actually found me early in my career. While Senior Editor of Disney Adventures magazine in the early 90’s, I was tasked with creating and running the Walt Disney Company’s first-ever online presence—a milestone in the company’s digital history.

Shortly after, I joined the founding team at CNET, a pioneer in data-driven publishing and the CMS. There I helped shape its core properties, including CNET.com, News.com, and Download.com, along with joint ventures with Intel, E! and NBC. I also produced CNET’s first TV series, “CNET Central”.

Building Businesses

Following my work with CNET, I became a partner at 12 Entrepreneuring, an early and experimental VC/incubator where we sought to conceive and build transformative and disruptive digital businesses.

In 2001, I became President of IFILM, the first platform to stream video at scale. There I led the consumer business overseeing programming, marketing, sales, product and technology. I also expanded the brand to larger screens through theatrical and television partnerships with AMC Theatres and IFC.

Innovating Experiences

In 2003, I started Voci Group LLC to deliver strategic product and UX expertise to bold, dynamic companies across all sectors and stages. Every day I work with clients to build impactful digital products that grow their businesses and delight users. I leverage my deep knowledge of what works with the AI tools that are accelerating how products get deployed–faster, sharper, and more iterative than ever.

When I’m not developing products, I’m helping others develop healthy habits as a National Board Certified Health Coach. I have served as Vice-Chair and Treasurer of the Board of Directors of APLA Health and I hold a degree in Human Biology from Stanford University.
