You need someone to decide, not just draw.
I own the call between what the business needs, what users need, and what your engineers can actually ship this quarter — and I write down why.
Drag the point. Every product decision is a position between three pulls — there is no centre.Balanced: nothing is optimised. Comfortable to agree on, and usually the decision nobody defends later.
Hire me for this when
- 01the scope is still fuzzy and someone has to turn it into a decision
- 02three stakeholders want three different products
- 03you want one person accountable end to end, not a handoff chain
- 04the last redesign looked better and changed nothing
Where this starts and stops
Before any screen exists — at the problem, the constraints, and the trade-off nobody has named yet.
At a shipped decision with a metric attached, so we can tell whether it worked.
- This is not visual polish on an agreed flow — that is UI Design.
- This is not research on its own — that is UX Design.
- I decide with your engineers, not at them; feasibility is an input, not an afterthought.
How I work
- 01
Frame the real problem
The brief is usually a proposed solution. I go back to what is actually failing and for whom.
- 02
Map the constraints
Business goal, user behaviour, technical cost. Written on one page so the trade-off is visible instead of implied.
- 03
Name the trade-off
I state what we are choosing and what we are giving up, and put it somewhere the team can disagree with.
- 04
Prototype the risky part
Not the easy screens. The one interaction that decides whether the idea survives contact with a user.
- 05
Ship and define the metric
The work is not done at handoff. It is done when we know what number tells us we were right.
Proof
On IranBroker I argued against keeping all legacy data above the fold and rebuilt the layout around moments of decision. On Promptinia every decision had my name on it — including the two features I later removed.
