I help teams figure out where they are in their digital product transformation, what's missing, and how to move forward.
"How can we use 3D data and advanced manufacturing to move beyond one-size-fits-all products?"
Invented a product category from scratch. Co-invented the first fully automated 3D-printed custom orthotic pipeline — smartphone photo to shipped orthotic in days, zero human intervention.
Turned research into a commercial product. As sole PM, commercialized SMPL — a state-of-the-art statistical body model — across eight capabilities and two markets.
Led ML validation for body composition analysis. Validated CV algorithms using smartphone cameras — 2× the accuracy of leading smart scales. Navigated compliance for collecting body photos at scale.
Built the infrastructure that changed how a $50B company sizes its products. Consolidated 1.1M body scans into a platform that let anyone at Nike — from NSRL scientists to marketing directors — query population data and get answers.
Product management, strategy, and director-level leadership on digital product creation, machine learning, computer vision, vendor relations, and 3D printing.
Define inclusive size systems grounded in real population data. Build the roadmap from body scan to grade rule.
Turn body data and biomechanical research into assets designers can actually use.
Bridge the gap between body data vendors and brands. Translate data into decisions teams can act on.
Audit and improve your DPC pipeline across Capture, Design, and Make. Connect the tools into a system that works.
Define what digital transformation means for your org. Build the business case and identify where to start.
