There’s a big debate going on in the design community right now over whether you should make a responsive design that would scaled down to fit a mobile platform or just design a designated mobile platform itself. A lot of people that are on the side of responsive development, they say that your only designing one site technically and it does help a lot with the load times because you’re just using one set of code that will shrink down. However, you will face some issues because it won’t be totally optimized, as it would be if you were doing a purely mobile design. I’m personally a fan of doing a designated mobile site because I have a little bit more control in terms of link layout, images or content that will be presented, however both are viable solutions.

In my role as Chief Revenue Officer at Insivia, I help SaaS and technology companies break through growth ceilings by aligning their marketing, sales, and positioning around one central truth: buyers drive everything.

I lead our go-to-market strategy and revenue operations, working with founders and teams to sharpen their message, accelerate demand, and remove friction across the entire buyer journey.

With years of experience collaborating with fast-growth companies, I focus on turning deep buyer understanding into predictable, scalable revenue—because real growth happens when every motion reflects what the buyer actually needs, expects, and believes.
