About

I explore tech, AI, and how they shape our behaviour: online and IRL. I blend my product management background with my love for sociology to explore how we can build tools that are human-centred, but still pragmatic enough to ship in the real world. And I help founders and PMs stay sane, launch faster, and generate revenue, without burning out. I’ve been in your shoes: leading 0-to-1 products, juggling tiny budgets, and playing every role from data analyst to interim dev lead. Because in early-stage startups, you do what it takes. I'd love to connect with you!

What's the biggest challenge you face in 2025?

Hi folks!

Now that we re a few months into the year, how s AI been showing up in your work? I've downloaded Product Plan's Product Management Report and they had a great section on how PMs are starting to integrate AI into their day-to-day.

But I d love to hear what you ve actually experienced. With so many AI tools flooding the market, what s been your biggest challenge so far?

Common problem amongst technical founders

I ve been talking to more founders lately, and I keep seeing the same problem with some of them.

They want to launch their product, acquire users, and go to market, but they don t actually want to talk to customers. When they do, any criticism (e.g., Your pricing is too high ) leads to them shutting down or doubling down on building more products.
