Product design from discovery to handover. Six steps in three phases, with an AI-assisted loop that runs in days, not phases.
Talk to users and stakeholders, on site where possible. AI clusters the notes, I check every pattern.
Turn findings into insights and testable hypotheses, and pick the riskiest assumption to test first.
Generate many directions fast in Figma Make and Claude Design. Exploring is cheap, choosing is the skill.
Build working prototypes with Claude Code on the real design system, tokens synced via Figma MCP.
Users test the working prototype. AI agents check accessibility and design system consistency first.
Hand over code-ready components, measure the signal from step 02 and feed it back into the loop.
01 Frame · Human-led
I start with the people who have the problem and the people who decide. At Bosch Security that meant mapping stakeholders before the first interview, which is how field technicians, who had no say in the brief, ended up in the sample.
02 Frame · Human-led
A hypothesis needs a signal that can prove it wrong. At Bosch Security the riskiest one, capacity as a live traffic light, was tested first because it could have invalidated the whole direction.
03 Make · AI-accelerated
For an internal AI platform at an insurance group I benchmarked how leading AI tools handle sources, projects, roles and long tasks before exploring directions for the chat, projects and the sources view.
04 Make · AI-accelerated
The clickable prototype of the insurance platform shows one product in four views. Switch the role, and start cards, signals and locked features change.
05 Prove · Human-led
At Bosch Security two field technicians saw prototypes against the live build in five-day cycles, choosing between two or three real options instead of describing what they wanted.
06 Prove · Human-led
At NURI components went to development through Storybook with variants and tokens. After the redesign, registrations went up.
The tools speed up the making. Framing the right problem, talking to users and deciding what ships stay with me. That is why the first and the last steps are human-led, and the middle runs as fast as the tools allow.
I'm looking for a product design role where I can stay with one product beyond launch and keep iterating with the team.
