Vulnerability is the birthplace of trust.
In a world of ordinary products, be remarkable—boldly distinctive and impossible to ignore.

Color Product Technologist
To help brave teams create remarkable products worth millions more—building instant trust, deep belonging, and viral word-of-mouth through courageous color as the spark of human connection.
Starting with why:
People don't buy what you do—they buy why you do it.
Ibelieve vulnerability creates real trust: showing up authentically, daring to feel human.
Color is that brave first whisper—evoking calm, understanding, and belonging in 0.05 seconds.
That's why I build experiences where people feel seen, choose you wholeheartedly, spread the idea, and drive measurable revenue.
Creating with purpose:
I use courage and stand out boldly. I think about how people feel before I design.
I build products that feel calm and trustworthy. I do the right thing and create unforgettable experiences.
I build communities around products that feel deeply right—and completely different.

Why Most Fail
They armor up with safe generics—skipping vulnerability, aiming to fit in.
They start with features, not feeling.
Perfection hides. Courage connects. Average vanishes. Remarkable spreads.
