I lead product design and strategy, turning vision into scalable, technically grounded products.
What I'm looking for
I bridge the gap between product vision and engineering delivery. With 10+ years in design and 6+ in leadership, I operate in the space where strategy meets execution—and I obsess over the structural integrity of products.
I believe design is “the structural honesty of how a system functions and scales to drive business goals.” I focus on identifying what’s essential to move a product forward, then grounding design strategy in technical reality so the result is robust and intuitive.
Recently, I’ve led product and design efforts across AI platforms and enterprise systems. As a Design Strategy Lead (with Product Ownership) at ChatRevenue.ai, I owned UX direction and core product strategy from concept to MVP in 2 months, shaping agentic UX and translating workshop hypotheses into dev-ready scope. At Stellarstech, I led a strategic revamp for a US fintech startup, embedded design rituals into BA and engineering processes for consistent delivery, and managed/mentored a team of 3 while overseeing design system creation and quality control.
Earlier in my career, I scaled design organizations and product ecosystems end-to-end. At Luxoft, I directed a global design organisation of 50+ specialists and managed strategic operations for multi-stream enterprise projects, then built and scaled design units and unified design systems that reduced onboarding/development time and improved delivery quality. As a founding team member and CDO at Wantent, I transformed raw AI technology into a market-ready, validated SaaS platform—defining product vision, shipping MVP, and increasing delivery speed through KPI optimisation.
