Product Manager & Product Designer

I take complex products from first idea to shipped — and make them easy to use.

Grounded in research and refined through testing. I lead the product, design the experience, and write the front-end that ships it — for government, fintech, telecom, healthcare and enterprise teams.

Approach

One person who can own the problem and the pixels.

I work across industries including government, medical, real estate, insurance, marketing, e-commerce, telecom, aerospace and defense. I build user-centred products from first concept to final delivery.

Product management

  • Define business and UX requirements with stakeholders and clients
  • Drive delivery with Agile and Scrum, from conception to deployment
  • Lead multi-discipline teams across locations
  • Turn product needs into architecture that engineering can build

Product design

  • Research, user testing and continuous iteration
  • Wireframes, UI flows, high-fidelity mockups and prototypes
  • Themed component libraries that keep products consistent
  • Accessible, responsive UI, plus the React and Angular code to ship it
