Mobile Product Strategy and Design

Founders don’t lack data. They lack interpretation.

Hi, I'm Hendrika 👋. I help founders and teams cut through noise and decide what to build — sometimes that means shipping faster, running experiments, conducting research, or pausing to redefine the problem. Either way, I build products that hold up under real-world pressure. I've led strategy pivots inside large organizations, built 0-to-1 platforms, and taken ideas from hackathon to patent.
