I'm Cloe

Smiley Icon

I’m a Product Designer driven by curiosity, systems thinking and a healthy obsession with understanding the “why”.

I’m drawn to solving problems that sit between user behaviour, business needs and technical constraints. My work is about finding the structure underneath, helping teams make better decisions and shaping experiences people can trust and adopt.

Before product design, I studied science, completed a research thesis and worked in higher education. That path shaped how I think: asking better questions, spotting patterns and using evidence to move from uncertainty to direction.

Today, I bring that same mindset to product design: balancing curiosity with judgement, and turning messy problems into considered product decisions.

How I'm using AI in my practice

Frame

I use AI as a thinking partner to pressure-test assumptions, explore problem spaces and sharpen the product direction before moving into solutions.

Prototype

I use AI to make ideas tangible sooner, so I can compare options, test interactions and learn before concepts become too fixed.

Ship

I use AI to close the gap between design intent and delivery, helping teams translate decisions into clearer implementation.
