What I'm looking for

I'm open to founding and product roles, remote worldwide or with relocation.

At Atypikal, the independent studio I founded, I bootstrapped the business to 90+ clients and ran engagements end to end. I worked directly with founders and leadership teams on positioning, identity systems, digital work and campaigns.

At Gridwatch, I designed UX strategy, wireframes and interfaces for an energy platform giving US cities real-time control over consumption, spend and alerts. I worked day to day with the client's engineers, then earned the brand and marketing-site mandate after a year on the product.

I built The Hungry Type, a curated restaurant-discovery product and operating system for Morocco, solo from positioning to production code. I chose description over published ratings and designed the product around Explore and Find paths, supported by a four-layer venue model.

I also built Betterwork, a hiring marketplace where every job reveals its salary before someone applies, enforced in the database rather than a guideline. I work across positioning, interaction design, data modelling, permissions and production code because the interface and database decisions are often the same decisions.

Product Design Lead

Nov 2023 - Oct 2024 (11 months)

A year of product design, then the brand I argued for.

Gridwatch is an energy platform giving US cities real-time control over consumption, spend and alerts. I came into a platform already in operation: industry immersion first, then UX strategy, wireframes and UI across operational dashboards, alerting, multi-level reporting and emissions interfaces.
