Hey, I'm Tim. I'm a 0-1 Product Designer.

My focus is on helping early-stage startups understand their core users and crafting data-complex software—with experience building AI/LLM based products, B2B SaaS products, and frontline consumer products.

My goal is to combine experimentation, execution, and strategy to help craft intuitive, human-first experiences.

Writing

Quality in the age of AI

Is the traditional design process a competitive advantage or a liability in a world where shipping is the new research?

Nobody hired you to protect the user

The unspoken reality of being the only designer in the room and what it actually takes to advocate for people in a company that's counting something else.

Design is not decoration

The debate over whether design is a "real" business lever misses the point entirely. The real question is why the people who understand its leverage are so bad at claiming it.

The MVP will ship. But will anyone love it?

Strategic investment can go a long way and why we need to start making that argument in the rooms where it matters.
