Founder at How This Works co
I run How This Works co, a product strategy and design practice offering three core services: workshop facilitation, team development and coaching, as well as hands-on work. I believe that strong, clear teams build exceptional products.
Here on ADPList, I serve as a mentor, supporting folks in areas like interview prep, career growth, and positioning your portfolio properly. I also host the How This Works show.
Previously at thoughtbot, Fjord (now known as: Accenture Song), SoftServe, and Shep (acquired by Flight Centre) among others. I've lived and worked in the Bay Area, NYC, and Austin. I'm currently in the eastern time zone, in Raleigh, NC.
“I just finished my third session with Skipper, and he gave me constructive and actionable feedback along the way. You can see the depth of his expertise in the way he observes, navigates, and shares his thoughts. Every week, I left the session full of ideas, direction, and insights to build on my portfolio, and it's amazing how much it has improved in just a few weeks.”
“Skipper was extremely insightful and took extra efforts to work with me during each session to ensure that our discussions were adding value to my learnings. I highly recommend booking a session with him for anything UX related, be it job application advice or career advice.”
“Skipper has very ambitious goals and is working steadily to achieve them. He has the tools and the drive for success!”
