Product Lab

Small products. Visible thinking.

A collection of practical experiments exploring how I define problems, design experiences, and turn ideas into working products.

These are personal experiments, built to think in public. They sit alongside — not inside — my professional portfolio in Selected Work.

The products

Try each one. See the decisions behind it.

  • Workflow Sandbox

    Working prototype

    Build an approval flow, then watch a submission move through it.

    The problem Product managers, operations leads, and reviewers lose time when an approval process runs on implicit rules. It is rarely clear who owns the next step, or what "approved" means when several people review the same thing. The delay and the rework compound quietly.

  • Priority Studio

    Planned

    Compare product ideas with the scoring assumptions kept in view.

    The problem Prioritisation scores get treated as facts. The number survives, the assumptions behind it — reach, confidence, effort, the weight each was given — quietly disappear. Two people can run the "same" framework and rank the list differently without ever seeing why.

    • Product strategy
    • Trade-off analysis

  • Decision Canvas

    Planned

    Turn a rough idea into a problem statement you can act on.

    The problem A lot of product work starts as a sentence in a meeting. Between that sentence and a plan there is a gap that usually gets filled with a document nobody rereads. The structure — who has the problem, what we are assuming, what is in and out, how we would know it worked — is the same every time, but it gets rebuilt from scratch.
