I design products from zero, along with the systems that help teams ship them.

I’ve spent 10+ years across brand and product. My work spans a clinical trial platform for mental health studies, a news platform connecting independent journalists with readers under censorship, and brand identities for single-owner sales at Christie’s.

About

Mental health trials depend on clinician-scored interviews that are hard to standardize. Willis checks each score with AI and a secondary clinician, and builds that check into one platform where sites run their trials and sponsors and CROs track study health.

I designed the product and brand from 0→1, then grew it from 25 product areas at the MVP to 40+ over almost two years.
