Bio
Design-engineering-PM hybrid at Figma, often cited as one of the most effective product managers in the company. Early PM on FigJam and current lead on a new zero-to-one Figma launch. Public reference voice for the "your scope is the world" operating stance, the interleaved pain-solution-proof pitch structure, and the discipline of explicit confidence labels.
Operating themes
- Your scope is the world. Nothing is out of bounds for an operator who acts.
- Vision is built cross-functionally, not handed off. Research, design, engineering pollinate from the start.
- Interleaved proof in pitches. Pain → solution → proof per beat, not three sequential acts.
- Confidence labels. Strong opinions need explicit high / medium / low so the room knows when to push back.
- Internal hype as a job. Insert demos at every forum even when not polished.
Cards
- Label every strong opinion with a confidence level so the room knows when to push back — Attach explicit confidence to strong opinions so dissent stays alive [Tier A]
- Pitch a vision as pain → solution → proof, interleaved per beat — not three sequential acts — Pair each pain with its own solution and proof beat [Tier B]
