What I do

01

Identify the right problem.

Market analysis, competitive research, product data, and user insights combine to surface meaningful product opportunities — before any interface work begins.

02

Define the product direction.

Working with product managers, engineers, operations, and stakeholders to define users, product scope, priorities, and success criteria.

03

Design and validate the experience.

Complex trading logic becomes understandable workflows — validated through prototypes, usability testing, expert reviews, and product feedback.

Selected work

Two products. Full product involvement.

Beyond the interface

Research informs the roadmap.

Trader interviews reshaped the DEX MVP scope — advanced order types moved up the roadmap after research showed they were the primary switching trigger.

Product decisions come before polished screens.

Prediction market segmentation defined three user tiers before any UI existed — each tier mapped to a different order-entry mode, from Quick Buy to full limit orders.

Complexity should be organized, not removed.

Professional traders rejected simplified views. The answer was a market-data hierarchy that layers density — everything available, nothing shouting.

Validation turns assumptions into product direction.

Usability rounds on settlement rules changed how outcomes were explained — iteration continued post-launch as product feedback exposed new edge cases.

About

I design products, not just interfaces.

My background across product planning and product design allows me to participate before the solution is defined. I work with teams to understand the market, frame the right problem, validate assumptions, and translate complex product logic into usable experiences.
