Talks & Publications.

I've guest lectured at Princeton, spoken on conference stages and podcasts, published with MIT Press and Deloitte Insights, and built the conferences and speaker series. A selection is below.

01 · About the work

I speak and write about what it actually takes to build products and companies with care — how ideas become revenue-generating businesses, how the startup journey feels from the inside, and why the best products are designed more like good architecture than good software.

My talks and lectures have lived at Princeton, Stripe, Women Design Talks, and on a handful of podcasts I'm fond of, and my long-form writing has been published by MIT Press, Deloitte Insights, Princeton University, and more.
