Profile
AI-native senior product designer who takes products from zero to one. Over the last ten years I've worked across product design and brand design, with the last six focused on consumer AI, fintech and web3 products used by millions. I design and build in React and TypeScript with Claude, Claude Code and Cursor, from Episode's front end to the Rivva browser extension, not just mockups. Most recently co-founder, design and operations at Rivva, an external executive function system for adults with ADHD, shipped to iOS, Android and web across 30+ countries. Before that, senior designer at MilkyWay ($30M+ protocol TVL), Advanced Blockchain AG (listed on Frankfurt as ABX), and Kora (profitable B2B payments, $300M+ processed).
Experience
RivvaAug 2025 to May 2026
Co-Founder, Design and Operations
London, UK · External executive function system for adults with ADHD and executive dysfunction
- Co-founded a B2C productivity SaaS and led design and operations. Shipped v1 to iOS, Android and web in January 2026, reaching users in 30+ countries across six continents within eight weeks.
- Owned product design and research end to end (working with one other designer at a time); after our CTO stepped down, ran engineering delivery from an operations standpoint, plus company-wide ops as a founder.
- Designed the product from zero: onboarding, calendar sync, sleep-data integrations (Apple Health, Google Health), real-time energy check-ins, and the Nia AI assistant, with accessible patterns for neurodivergent users.
- Ran the activation analysis that redefined our activation metric: growth rose while activation fell, so I dug into our own data and found the behaviours that actually predicted retention (completing a first task ~50% likely to stay 5+ days; connecting a second calendar ~12.5x more likely to retain, predictors, not proven levers), then redirected the v2 onboarding around them.
- At close: 200 paid subscribers, $2K MRR, 25% trial-to-paid, 60% signup-to-trial, 53% monthly renewal. Wound down cleanly in May 2026.
MilkyWayDec 2023 to Jul 2025
Senior Product Designer
Seoul, South Korea · Remote · Liquid staking protocol, Cosmos ecosystem
- Led product design from pre-launch. The protocol reached $30M+ TVL within three months in an incentivized market; I frame TVL as protocol traction, not a design result.
- Designed the 0→1 staking flow, validator-selection model, Lite/Pro experience, and reward dashboards that made complex, high-stakes mechanics legible for non-experts, cutting the protocol knowledge needed before acting.
- Worked with backend, frontend and product and stakeholder research to turn protocol mechanics into clear, usable flows.
