Owning the product end to end (late 2025 – now)
- With no dedicated PM, I own merchant products from start to finish: gathering requirements from Sales, the CEO and merchant feedback, writing PRDs, designing, briefing engineering, and running QA in staging and production.
- Plan and send release announcements to targeted merchant segments (SendGrid), deciding who gets each update.
Building in code (2026)
- Building FLIK's merchant dashboard with AI-assisted development (Claude Code), taking features from design to working code.
- Built AI research tooling (Claude Code + Google Apps Script) that turns a research question into a live survey and a synthesised findings deck.
Research and checkout
- Led a four-phase redesign of checkout entry (Aug 2023 – Jun 2025): a heuristic audit, an unmoderated Maze study, guerrilla testing and three rounds of refinement.
- Found why shoppers chose guest checkout over login (a 5.15% conversion gap): 68% picked guest because it felt faster, though all of them valued rewards.
- Shipped a one-step checkout that shows the shopper's potential reward where they pay, and worked with engineering to extend logins from 48 hours to one month.
- Optimised login and guest checkout flows to reduce friction and drop-off for first-time shoppers.
- Ran a three-month post-onboarding study with merchants to find behaviour patterns and engagement gaps.
Read the checkout case study →Platform and design system
- Played a key role in FLIK's move into shipping aggregation: redesigned the merchant dashboard and designed new logistics products, contributing to merchant acquisition.
- Started and established FLIK's design system to improve consistency and speed up design-to-development.
- Partner with Operations, Sales and Engineering to turn business needs into specs and user-centred solutions.
