Request

Product designer at heart. Curiosity, structured thinking and observation led me to product. I talk to customers, build quick interactive prototypes, ship solo or with my team, and move fast.

Observations · Observations10
  1. 01

    Designer first

    Interaction design, design systems and visual judgement for complex B2B and data tools.

  2. 02

    Owns the product

    Roadmaps, trade-offs and shipping decisions. Promoted to CPO for it.

  3. 03

    Hears customers directly

    Ran customer success for 20+ accounts. Recurring issues became the backlog.

  4. 04

    Foundations over tools

    I think in structures first, read a tool's documentation before trusting it, and decide what to hand to AI and what to keep.
