Hold Fast Studio

Bring 20+ years of product design experience into your team today to help drive your product to market. Whether it's zero to one working directly with a founder or iterating on a mature product with an existing team, hit that sweet spot between rigid/slow-moving agencies, risky/expensive full-time hires, and inexperienced/unpredictable freelancers. I’m a full-stack digital product designer, writer, and strategist helping startups, entrepreneurs, and forward-thinking product teams launch new digital products and businesses. I’ve led product design initiatives and teams at agencies in Japan and the U.S., multiple early-stage hardware and software startups, as well as Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Microsoft Research, and Amazon. I’m not into design with a capital “D.” No one-size-fits-all frameworks or processes, no secret two-week+ long design exercises, no Mad Men style concept presentations. Let’s work together closely, in real-time, and iterate on the design and user experience for your product, design system, or in building out your in-house design practice.
