Hey, I’m Paul.

  • Hi, I was most recently as a senior product designer at Jetty. I enjoy distilling complex problems and systems down to simple user experiences. I’m a versatile, mission-driven product designer with 10+ years of experience in delivering value for the users and the business in fintech and media.

  • Hi, I’m your trusted partner. l am used to a working model where I stay in sync with you in every step of the product development cycle. I believe we need to be totally aligned at all times to work efficiently and to deliver maximum value for users.

  • Hi, I’m a experienced product designer looking for a new opportunity preferably in a mission-driven start-up with a path for people management and mentoring junior designers.

  • Hi, I’m someone who can speak code and understand how involving you early in the process can lead to more efficient value delivery. I can be a stickler when it comes to design QA but always appreciate you for making stuff work!
