About

I am always on the lookout for ideas that ignite wonder and creativity. My journey from engineering to content strategy has taught me the value of thoughtful design, clear communication, and the power of building communities around ideas. I am drawn to the world of community-led products, where creators take center stage. I thrive on diving into the creator economy and following the evolution of digital journaling & wellness apps, indie tools built by solo devs, and the voices of innovators shaping tomorrow. My focus is on content that goes beyond the surface. I champion thoughtful UX with accessibility at its core, always supporting indie devs sharing their WIP (work in progress) and tools that aid in mindfullness.

How much are you willing to pay for influencer promotion of your product?

At a time when everyone allows themselves to build any solution using AI, it is difficult to differentiate themselves, and makers are betting on more aggressive distribution.

Some differentiate themselves with good tech support, some build their personal brand as a founder, and some pay influencers.

My hypotheses for FoundersAround failed. What would you do next?

Hey PH

I spent last month testing some assumptions like: founders want to meet others in-person. These assumptions failed as it's not as simple as that. There are some intricacies.

Well, I think will come back to the original asusmption that sort of worked. People liked being on the map, sharing their profile, and getting discovered.

Have you ever pivoted your business / idea? 💡

Tons of great products that we know and use everyday are the result of pivots. You know, sometimes the original idea just isn't working and you have to find a new niche and quick, other times you stumble on a use case that changes the whole game.

Have you ever pivoted? What's the story behind it? How successful was the pivot? I'd love to hear your stories, and potentially feature them in our newsletters!
