Hi, I’m Lindsay T.

When I started my career in Silicon Valley in 2005, I dreamed of the amazing things technology could do to support people. The industry took it sideways, introducing negative outcomes that others and I foresaw (ex: I asked Zuckerberg in 2006 “When are you going to hire social science researchers? You’re changing the way we all communicate”).

I still believe in the possibility and am passionately calling to improve how we innovate and solve problems so that the human experience is well-positioned in the future.

It’s time for an emergency human factors meeting. Are you coming?

The strategic benefits of senior UX & Product leadership

Real talk: to scale your product development capacity and meet your startup’s growth goals, you need strategic leadership to bridge the gap between customer needs and engineering. Hiring someone new takes more money and time than you have.

You need your existing talent bench to step it up, stat!

Let’s discuss how I can help.
