Speckle is a Series A startup building B2B SaaS for architecture, engineering, and construction. I shipped design-to-production features end-to-end, using Cursor and Claude to close the handoff gap and keep a small engineering team moving fast. I extended and unified the design system through a full website migration, aligning tokens and components with the web app, and led brand and identity work that sharpened consistency across touchpoints without a full rebrand. I also partnered with growth and GTM teams to design collaboration features requested by enterprise clients, shaping the sales materials behind new account wins.

I held staff-level oversight across multiple products on the Periscope platform, alongside bespoke design work for standalone SaaS initiatives outside it. I owned the design system, merging components from a legacy UI library and establishing a governance model for contribution and maintenance with front end. As the team doubled in size, I acted as player-coach, mentoring designers and taking an active role in hiring, while partnering with external vendors on shared initiatives.

I joined a former colleague newly appointed Head of Product for 0-to-1 discovery and design of an enterprise app used in high-value executive hiring. My findings shaped the product from a broad employee-lifecycle tool into one focused squarely on the hiring workflow. I replaced manual, fragmented consultant workflows with AI-enabled tooling, removing interviewing friction and cutting scorecard creation time in half, and designed the self-serve admin area that made a client-facing revenue model viable.

I took complex data analysis tools from wireframe through to developer handoff, validating each stage directly with clients and stakeholders. I was forward deployed to on-site design sprints across Europe and North America that helped secure funding for further product development, and ran regular lunch & learns, including a remote yoga session during lockdown.
