Senior Product Designer
Hands-on product design for small teams building complex B2B software.
I work fractionally, as a designer inside your team. I design from how your users do their work today, alongside your product and engineering leads.
With 12+ years in product design, I’ve designed software for lending, compliance and healthcare teams.
When teams bring me in
Your team has explored several directions for the product. Now it needs to choose one and define a scope it can build.
Or your product managers are running discovery and need someone to lead the design from what it finds.
I lead the design work, frame the open questions and recommend a direction. We work through the scope decisions together.
- Exploration to scope
A B2B software team brought me in to help it move from exploring options to a defined scope.
- Discovery to design
On a compliance tool for a large financial company, I supported the product managers through discovery, then led the design from its outcomes.
How I work
I start by observing the people who do the work and mapping the steps they take.
Then I work through the open questions with you and your stakeholders until the direction is decided. I turn it into prototypes and detailed designs your engineers can build from.
As engineering builds, I answer design questions and document decisions as they’re made. When the product needs it, I set up shared components the team can reuse.
Selected work
Document review in APEX
Loan agents checked each deal’s requirements in APEX, the company’s loan origination system. Reading a supporting document meant leaving the requirement list, then finding their place again. I observed that work and designed a drawer, introduced through a prototype, that opens the document beside the list. It shipped in 2021, and other teams later reused it across the platform.
Read the case study →- Portfolio Monitoring
Monitoring ran outside the platform, and a borrower with several loans got the same document request once per loan. I designed a monitoring module organized around the borrower instead of the loan.
- Showit design system
I built the first design system for a 60K-subscriber website platform, from the Figma component library to design tokens in code, with the engineering team. I took it to launch-ready.
