Short on time? Here are recent case studies to showcase my work in AI, incubation, digital, and service design.
Thu Do has a strong track record in launching market-tested products across Consumer, HealthTech, EdTech, Creator Economy, and Workforce Development sectors.
She provides AI-powered prototyping, product design, and market testing for early-stage startups - from no rev to $5M ARR - to find product market fit and accelerate growth. Here are some samples of her work and a way to explore collaboration.
Over my 15+ years in product design and strategy, I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, including Samsung, Barclaycard, American Express, BCG, PwC, Reckitt Benckiser, and Miller through various ad agencies and innovation firms. In education and workforce development, I've led design for Merit America ($100M raised, 10K+ learners) and designed for the California Community College System (1.6M+ students). Through TAILORU Collective and fractional work, I've designed for startups and scale-ups, including Infera Health, UncommonGood, Tastemakers Africa, Dashboard.earth, blockchain MRKD.dj, Yum Run, and 20+ other equity-driven tech launches across EdTech, HealthTech, Creator Tech, and Climate Tech.

Rationale: Companies in this range typically have early signals of working product ideas, need full customer journey and product audit and significant improvements to hit product and growth targets, have small internal teams, and budget flexibility to support fractional or product market testing/experimentation. They’re often looking to establish strong hands-on product design leadership who can build with the team without hiring a full-time CPO or Director of Design yet.
