Complex Tech, Simple Products, Happy Users.
I’m a product leader with industrial design roots who makes complex tech usable for real people.
18+ years scaling teams, launching 50+ products, and driving $250M+ revenue impact.
“Scott is a strong communicator, a leader with valuable expertise and experience, and someone who folks enjoy working with. He's trusted and respected across the organization and there's a hunger to see Scott have even more influence and impact within the company.”
I’m currently looking for Head of Product opportunities to build products that matter. I’m most drawn to senior product roles at companies putting humans and the planet first.
Most recently, I was Head of Product at PAX Labs, a cannabis company here in San Francisco. Over my six years there, I built and led a team of PMs, designers, and researchers to expand from their core vaporizers into oils, edibles, flower products—the whole ecosystem. We launched PAX’s first flower consumable, expanded into Canada, and shipped an extensive line of devices and accessories. Managed to boost our product development speed by 5x, launching about 4 new products every 18 months.
My jump into product management came from running my own design studio, Freeform, where I discovered how much I love connecting user needs with business strategy. Spent nearly a decade there designing products for brands like Snap-on, Wilson, and Ibanez. Before that, I worked at TEAMS design and Beyond design in Chicago.
When I’m not building products, my wife Jessina and I are busy with our two young kids and making furniture for our East Bay home.
How I Work
-
I interview dozens of people per project to understand what’s actually broken, not what we assume is broken.
-
I identify how to bridge technical constraints with what people actually need through collaborative design sessions.
-
A philosophy I refined through years of design consultancy—get something in people’s hands quickly and learn from it.
-
I trust design intuition but validate it with data and analytics.
-
Create teams that own their outcomes and drive their own initiatives forward.
What’s Next?
I’m looking to join a startup or growth company where I can build the product organization from the ground up while we scale from product-market fit to real revenue growth.
I'm particularly drawn to companies building for humans and the planet first, especially consumer AI devices, health technology, and urban mobility.
If you're building products that improve how people live and work, let's talk.
Let's Build Something Great Together
I'm always excited to connect with founders, product leaders, and teams building products that create positive impact.
Whether you're looking for product leadership, want to discuss an interesting challenge, or just want to share what you're working on, I'd love to hear from you.
Let's grab coffee (virtual or in-person) and talk about what you're building.
