I find where your product loses people and I fix it.

B2B SaaS Product Designer

Product designer with a PM background. I've spent 15 years in B2B SaaS and AI, usually as the first or only designer, which means I know how to operate without a playbook. I don't need someone to translate the business problem. I've sat in that seat. Engineers get decisions, not blockers.

How I Build

I use AI tools as production-grade infrastructure, not novelty. Here's what that looks like in practice.

  • Built a shared prototype environment so designers and PMs can test ideas without waiting on a developer.
  • Built a design QA workflow so engineers can self-check implementation against design specs.
  • Built this portfolio and movewithnaema.
