Lena Ortega

SHARK PROFILE

Product designer turned indie founder. Shipped 3 consumer apps in the lifestyle space, exited one to a public co, and now spend half my week designing for early-stage founders. I care about delight, density, and shipping fast — but not at the expense of taste. If your product feels generic, I will tell you. Then I'll help you fix it.
