Description

Building software has never been easier. Building something worth adopting is still difficult.

My work starts with a simple question:

Will people actually adopt this product?

Sometimes the answer lies in the product itself. Sometimes it’s the problem being solved, the value it creates, or how well it fits into people’s work.

I help founders and product teams understand what’s happening so they can make better product decisions.

Depending on where you are, I can help you:

Product Discovery

- Clarify the problem worth solving
- Understand users’ needs and expectations
- Validate assumptions before investing in development

Adoption Readiness

- Evaluate how your product is perceived before launch
- Identify the main adoption risks
- Strengthen your value proposition

Adoption Diagnosis

- Understand why adoption is lower than expected
- Identify friction points and opportunities
- Prioritize the changes that will have the greatest impact

You’ll get:

Evidence-based product insights
Actionable recommendations
Clear priorities for your next product decisions

Many product teams build features that users don’t adopt — without understanding why.

I help you identify why your product isn’t used as expected, and what to improve to increase adoption, usage, and performance.

I typically work on:
• Products or features that are not being used or adopted
• Low user adoption or engagement issues
• Product discovery and prioritization challenges
• Deciding what to build next based on real user needs

What I deliver:
• Clear understanding of how your product is actually used
• Identification of key friction points and adoption blockers
• Actionable recommendations to improve usage, adoption, and conversion
