№ 03My process

From a messy problem to a measurable outcome.

For me, product design starts with two questions: what is the user struggling with, and what is it costing the business? I work with product managers, engineers and data from day one, explore widely, validate early with real users and ship in small steps we can measure. Every release should move a number that matters.

01

Problem Finding

User interviews, analytics and support tickets, until the real problem and its cost to the business are clear.

  • Research insights
  • Journey maps
  • Opportunity sizing
02

Problem Framing

Narrow the findings to one problem worth solving, and agree the goal, metric and scope with product and engineering.

  • Problem statement
  • Success metrics
  • Priorities
03

Solution Shaping

Explore several directions, prototype the strongest, test with real users and refine until it feels obvious and is buildable.

  • User flows
  • Prototypes
  • Usability tests
04

Solution Pitching

Tell the story with prototypes and data so the team can decide, then hand off clear specs and measure the impact after launch.

  • Stakeholder demos
  • Specs & components
  • Impact review

I design products for people who don't have time to learn them: shopkeepers settling the day's credit, customers paying from a bank app, analysts asking an AI for answers. Good design, to me, is when the next step feels obvious, however complex the system behind it.

Over eight years I went from freelance graphics to leading product design on TallyKhata at Progoti Systems, as it grew past ten million users. Most recently, at JustGo, I built and governed a tokenized design system across web and mobile. I still teach UX and research methods part-time at Shanto-Mariam University, and mentor designers on ADPList.

Now based in Berlin and open to senior product design roles, full-time or contract. I hold a Chancenkarte, so no visa sponsorship is needed, and I'm learning German.
