With 7+ years at Accenture Song and a track record across government, banking, telco, and energy — I bridge strategy, design, and delivery. I still believe the best technology is the kind that quietly makes lives easier and simpler.

How I Work

My Process

Hover any phase to expand. I operate across all six — or drop in exactly where you need.

01
DiscoverUnderstanding the real problem before anything moves
✦ Discovery Report & Problem Statement

Stakeholder interviews, VoC analysis, as-is journey mapping, and competitive benchmarking surface the real problem — not the assumed one. Most projects fail because they solve the wrong thing fast.

Stakeholder interviewsVoC / VoA analysisJourney mappingOpportunity sizing
02
DefineTurning insight into a clear, aligned brief
✦ Product Brief, Roadmap & KPIs

Requirements engineering, feature prioritisation, OKR definition, and stakeholder alignment workshops — so everyone ships toward the same north star.

Requirements engineeringOKR & KPI definitionStakeholder workshopsProduct roadmap
03
Design & BuildShipping with intention
✦ Prototypes, Specs & Launched Product

AI-assisted prototyping in Replit and Figma, sprint management, backlog grooming, and go-to-market coordination. I ensure what gets built is what was meant to be built.

AI prototypingSprint managementCX executionLaunch readiness
04
Test & ValidateEvidence before every next step
✦ Validation Report & Iteration Plan

UAT coordination, usability testing, feedback analytics setup, and A/B experiments ensure the product earns its users before it earns its budget.

UAT coordinationUsability testingFeedback analytics setupIteration prioritisation
05
SimplifyRemoving everything that doesn't earn its place
✦ Optimised Product & Friction Report

Journey friction audits, feature optimisation, and ruthless cutting of anything that slows a user down. Simplicity is not a design choice — it's a business strategy.

06
ScaleGrowing what works
✦ Scale Playbook & Growth Roadmap

Market-wide launch and campaign setup, PMO setup, squad scaling, and long-term product vision. From pilot to platform — I know which levers matter at each stage.
