2018 — Present

ConsultingStartupProductBrand

A curated set of independent engagements, from early-stage brand consulting to product development. Each driven by the same commercial instinct across different sectors.

01

NorthPulse

Founder of NorthPulse Group LLC, a U.S.-registered AI automation agency specialised in building intelligent systems that eliminate manual work and scale business operations. I architect end-to-end automation infrastructures — from AI customer support to lead qualification, content engines and workflow automation — delivering fully operational systems in under 48 hours, reducing workload by up to 70% and tripling qualified leads.

02

StudioFlow

Designed StudioFlow, a SaaS booking platform for recording studios that modernises how artists and studio managers schedule sessions, manage payments and track availability. I led the full UX/UI design, built a real-time calendar system and developed the brand identity. The platform reduced cancellations by 40% and increased recurring bookings by 62% across European pilot studios.

03

MindShift

Led product design and experience strategy for MindShift, a corporate wellness app built around micro-habits, weekly challenges and emotional tracking. I created the full UX/UI system, the gamification model and the HR analytics dashboard. The platform increased wellness-program participation by 48%, reduced absenteeism by 22% and reached a 4.7★ satisfaction rating in pilot testing.

To be continued

New ventures will come — but for now my full focus is dedicated to building and scaling NorthPulse with the highest level of commitment and excellence.

What I Do

  • I design and build digital products, automation systems and user-centric experiences that reduce operational friction and create measurable business impact.
  • My work spans SaaS platforms, mobile applications, workflow systems and strategic product design — always focused on clarity, scalability and real-world results.
  • I combine product thinking, UX strategy and technical understanding to deliver solutions that help teams operate better, faster and more consistently.

Selected Highlights

  • Consistently delivered measurable improvements across digital products — from higher user engagement to lower operational workload.
  • Designed complete product experiences — from research and UX flows to interfaces, automation logic and implementation guidelines.
  • Currently focused on scaling my most ambitious project to date, dedicating my full attention and expertise to NorthPulse.
