Ideal Clients
You have an idea for a product that uses AI and want to know people need it before you spend months building. I help you test it and ship a focused first version.
You want to turn a new AI initiative into something customers can use. I bring product leadership, research and prototypes so your team decides with evidence.
Your people spend hours on intake, triage, follow-ups or reporting. I find the steps worth automating and build tools that take that work off their plate.
I study the market, rank opportunities by value and effort, and turn them into a product direction and a roadmap for what to build first.
I interview your customers, watch how they work today and test ideas with them, so decisions rest on what people actually need.
I design the key flows and build prototypes you can test with real people, then scope the smallest working version that proves the value.
I define your positioning, explain the product's value, and plan the launch across the channels your customers use. I create the messaging, launch content, and marketing materials that help your team reach the right people and turn interest into adoption.
I build customer-facing products, features and tools with AI and a small team of contractors when needed. I also build agents connected to tools you already use to make your workflows faster.
Safety, ethics, and compliance (COPPA, FTC, EU AI Act) built into the product from day one, not bolted on after a regulatory incident.
I set up the full member success system: in-product onboarding, email and notification sequences, communication channels, customer education and human touchpoints that help people get into the product, find value and come back.

See in PortfolioResearch, opportunities and a tested prototype, so you know what to build and why.
I design, build, test and launch a defined product or feature, then hand it over.

We agree on scope and timing together after an intro call. You can also email me first.
Before We Work Together
Yes. I identify where AI can improve your team's work, define the workflow, and build products, tools, or agents around that need. We start with the problem and agree on a useful outcome before choosing the technology.
I work across strategy, customer research, design, prototypes, code, launch, and adoption. I can own a scoped build-and-launch project or provide ongoing product leadership, with specialist contractors when needed.
Yes. I provide hands-on product and growth leadership for founders and teams building new initiatives. We agree on priorities, deliverables, and timing after an intro call.
I include safety, privacy, and compliance requirements in product decisions from the start, informed by my trust and safety experience. Where specialist legal or regulatory advice is needed, it should be part of the project rather than treated as a substitute for product work.
Client Stories
“I hired Angelina to oversee the UI/UX design for a website and app and she is incredible. From the get go, she was extremely organized with setting a timeline and project expectations. Between consistent communication and recurring meetings, she was able to routinely exceed expectations. Time and again, when I am complimented on my product, the person I have to thank is Angelina. Her expertise in product management is amazing, and she can tap into her network of trusted experts to fill any gaps.”
“Angelina is a machine. She is effective and delivers on anything thrown at her—whether it's getting funding, making sales, getting press mentions, repeatedly doubling our daily traffic, making our app look great, or learning how to code. She came in at a time when our app looked like it was built by two engineers, and was solely responsible for its design, the user acquisition funnel and member success and retention, making it accessible to a much wider audience. This significantly increased the rate at which our revenue grew.”
“It is evident to me that Angelina's purpose is to help people because she put her heart into everything for seven years, helping many students find their first job and cultivate their ambition and professional skills by starting Cansbridge, a global non-profit from scratch and helping grow it into a recognizable, impactful brand.”
