I help early-stage founders design and build products with AI, from idea to something real, without needing a full team around it.

I spent years in senior product roles at Canva and Envato, working on systems used by millions of people. I left that to work closer to the problem, with founders who are still figuring out what they're building and need someone who can hold design, product thinking, and build execution at the same time.

In practice this looks like: taking a product idea that lives in someone's head and turning it into something designed, tested, and shippable. I work with AI across the full stack, which means I can take a product from design through to build, and stay involved further than a designer typically would.

Things I'm especially interested in:

How AI changes what's possible to build as a small team

How early product decisions compound into hard problems later

How to design things that are simple without being shallow

If you're a founder with a product idea you want to make real, we'll probably have a good conversation.
