Strategic Design Intelligence

In a world of autonomous systems, products still need direction.

We turn complexity into clarity and systems into products people actually use.

What brings you here?

Methodology

The Experience Equation

Most product friction isn't UI. It's misalignment.

WHO

Users, capabilities, constraints, and mental models

GOAL

Task to be done, success criteria, urgency

MEANS

Technology, tools, system capabilities and constraints

CONTEXT

Real environment, workflows, organizational reality

Diagnose
Reframe
Set direction
Enable execution

The truth about product problems

Most problems that look like "UX problems" are actually alignment problems.

When users don't adopt a product, when features meet resistance, when systems feel complex — it's rarely a UI issue. It's a mismatch between who the user is, what they're trying to do, the tools available to them, and the environment they operate in.

Applying the right "UX fix" to the wrong alignment problem doesn't just fail — it makes things worse.

The Intelligence Interface

Alex isn't a chatbot. He's a strategic interface.

Alex is built on 20+ years of product strategy and behavioral design methodology. He doesn't generate generic answers — he applies the Experience Equation: mapping WHO × GOAL × MEANS × CONTEXT to find the actual misalignment blocking your product.

Every conversation with Alex feels like the beginning of a consulting engagement. He diagnoses before recommending. He asks targeted questions. He provides insights you didn't expect.

Diagnoses, not guesses

Maps your problem against the Experience Equation before suggesting any direction.

Reframes the problem

Shows you what you may have missed. The root cause is usually not where you're looking.

Provides strategic direction

Points toward solutions — not features, but types of thinking that create real change.

How we work together

Advisory

Strategic direction when clarity is the bottleneck.

2–4 weeks

Product Rescue

Fix adoption, simplify complexity, recover direction.

6–10 weeks

End-to-End
