I’m looking for: a permanent Lead or Senior Product Designer role, on a team building something complicated. In-house by preference, though if you’re a studio with that kind of work, write anyway. There is no form on this page: the address below is my inbox, and I read it.

Not a requirement. These are the four things I end up asking for anyway, so sending them first saves us both a round trip. Skip whatever doesn’t apply.
Not a requirement. These are the four things I end up asking for anyway, so sending them first saves us both a round trip. Skip whatever doesn’t apply.
The role, properly
Title, who I’d report to, how many designers are already there, and who I’d be building it with on the engineering side.
What you’re building, and who has to use it
The more constrained and unglamorous the domain, the more interested I am. Regulated, operational, high-stakes: that is the work I want.
Where the role sits
Remote, hybrid or relocation, and which country the contract is in. I’m on an island in the Atlantic, so it matters.
Anything you want me to look at first
A product, a document, a job description. I’ll have read it before we speak.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Not hiring? Write anyway. Questions about anything in the case studies, how a design system survives contact with real engineering, or what it’s actually like working from the middle of the Atlantic: I answer those too.
