About Me

I help ambitious teams turn complex problems into products that feel inevitable. My work sits at the intersection of systems, strategy, and storytelling — with a stubborn obsession for craft.

Currently leading product design at Linear, previously at Stripe and Figma. When I'm not in Figma, you'll find me sketching at cafés or chasing good light with a film camera.

Context: A product that scaled faster than it could simplify.

Stripe Atlas helps founders incorporate companies remotely. After six years of growth, the dashboard had become a patchwork of features — powerful, but overwhelming for first-time founders navigating tax filings, equity, and compliance.

The Before. — LEGACY DASHBOARD AUDIT 1 Unclear hierarchy 2 No progressive disclosure 3 Repetitive form patterns 4 No clear status of action 5 Mobile completely broken
— Chapter 02

The problem in numbers.

Internal data revealed that 47% of founders dropped off during the activation flow. Support tickets were dominated by confusion over next steps.

— DROP-OFF FUNNEL Sign up · 100% Profile · 73% Filing · 54% Payment · 35% Done · 19% 81% NEVER COMPLETE
— TOP SUPPORT TICKETS "I'm lost." — 2,341 tickets "What's next?" — 1,889 tickets "It crashed." — 1,204 tickets
— Chapter 03 04 slides

The process: from chaos to clarity.

We ran 23 user interviews, mapped 4 jobs-to-be-done, prototyped 11 flows, and ran 3 rounds of usability testing before committing to a direction.

SLIDE 01 — RESEARCH 23 founders. 11 countries. 1 insight. "I don't need more features. I need a path." — EMILY, FOUNDER · BERLIN
SLIDE 02 — JOURNEY MAP Mapping the founder journey. 01 Discover 02 Configure 03 File 04 Activate ★ Grow 5 STAGES · 23 TOUCHPOINTS · 4 JOBS-TO-BE-DONE
SLIDE 03 — WIREFRAMES Eleven flows. Three rounds.
SLIDE 04 — DESIGN PRINCIPLES One step, one decision. — Progressive disclosure over feature parity — Status before action — Plain English over jargon — Always show what's next — Mobile is a first-class citizen
01 / 04
— Chapter 04

The solution: a dashboard that guides, not overwhelms.

A new status-led architecture, a unified component system, and a "next best action" engine that surfaces what matters now.
