This is Vervian
A Solo Founder with 20+ Years of Experience
I'm Jeremy List, the founder of Vervian. Over the past two decades, I've led product strategy, UX design, and digital transformation initiatives for companies ranging from startups like 500px to enterprises like eBay.
I created Vervian to offer a more structured, outcome-driven alternative to traditional agencies. No open-ended retainers. No guesswork. Just fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables and predictable timelines.
When needed, I work with a trusted network of contractors to fill any gaps—ensuring you get the right expertise for your specific challenge, without the overhead of a large agency.
How I Work
Structured Discovery
Every engagement starts with a structured discovery process. I use AI-enhanced research and proven frameworks to surface insights quickly, helping you move from uncertainty to clarity in weeks, not months.
This isn't about creating endless documentation—it's about identifying the right problems to solve and building a roadmap that drives real business outcomes.
Fixed-Scope Engagements
I believe in productized services with clear deliverables. You know exactly what you're getting, when you're getting it, and what it costs. No surprises.
Whether it's a discovery sprint, product design, or AI consulting, every engagement is scoped to deliver maximum value in a defined timeframe.
AI-Enhanced Execution
I leverage AI throughout my process—from research synthesis to design exploration to development acceleration. This isn't about replacing human judgment; it's about augmenting it to move faster and make better decisions.
The result? You get the strategic thinking and creative problem-solving of an experienced product leader, delivered at a pace that traditional consulting can't match.
Strategic Focus
I don't just deliver designs or documents. I help you make better strategic decisions. Every recommendation is grounded in business goals, user needs, and technical feasibility.
My background spans product management, UX design, and development—giving me a unique perspective on what it takes to ship products that actually work.
Why Work With Me
Deep Experience Across the Product Lifecycle
From 0→1 product launches to enterprise-scale transformations, I've seen it all. This breadth of experience means I can anticipate challenges before they become problems.
No Agency Overhead
You work directly with me—no account managers, no junior team members learning on your dime. Just senior-level expertise from day one.
Transparent Process
I believe in radical transparency. You'll always know what I'm working on, why I'm making specific recommendations, and how we're tracking against our goals.
Built for Speed
By combining proven frameworks with AI acceleration, I deliver in weeks what traditional firms take months to produce—without sacrificing quality.
