Lead Product Designer simplifying complex, regulated B2B SaaS with product-owner scope and AI-integrated UX.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an EU-friendly role where I can combine product-owner scope with hands-on product design—especially in regulated, data-heavy B2B SaaS—and apply AI responsibly, with strong cross-functional delivery and design-system ownership.

I’m a Lead Product Designer with 9+ years in complex B2B SaaS, with deep experience in healthcare and other regulated, high-stakes domains. I simplify dense, regulated workflows for UK and EU organisations while keeping delivery clear, safe, and trustworthy.

I bring a product-owner scope—strategy, roadmapping, and Scrum Master responsibilities—plus hands-on UX, design systems, and AI-integrated delivery. I’ve led design for multi-country social care platforms, shipped carbon portfolio tools, and set product direction for an AI-native MVP.

In my independent practice, I own product discovery and UX operations, rebuilt internal workflows around AI tools, and set up AI workflow automation for clients. I also support founders through 0-to-1 product and UX audits, advising what to build now versus later and shaping core interface and information architecture.

Previously at PCG International, I turned regulatory and operational requirements into clear interfaces, data-heavy dashboards, and multi-step, role-based workflows—aligned to accessibility standards (WCAG). I own design-system governance, run Agile delivery with engineering and stakeholders, and mentor junior designers with an intentionally responsible approach to AI.
