Product strategy consultant helping companies build exquisite communication products, with a focus on thoughtful AI integration.
I love helping students bring ambitious product ideas to life. After leading product teams from startups to global enterprises (most recently Yahoo Mail's organization), I now run Jacobson Product Advisory, helping companies shape their product strategy.
My journey has taken me from interaction design in San Francisco to leading device UI design in Tokyo, and eventually to product leadership roles focused on AI innovation. Along the way, I've picked up 25 patents and developed a passion for user-centered design and emerging technologies.
When I'm not geeking out about product design or mountain biking Bay Area trails, I'm coaching Stanford design teams – something I've done for nearly a decade and genuinely love. I'm excited to help students bring their vision to reality while opening doors to opportunities in tech and design.
