Hi, I'm Jarryd — a product design lead with 10+ years shaping products across healthcare, fintech, energy, and government.
I specialise in making sense of ambiguous problems, guiding teams from early discovery through to shipped outcomes, and staying hands-on with the work throughout. I bring structure where it's needed without slowing things down.
Leading and supporting small design teams while staying close to the work. Collaborating with founders and executive leaders to unpack early ideas, shape them into clear problems, and guide teams toward meaningful outcomes.
Navigating ambiguity with structured discovery, prioritisation, and sequencing. Translating high-level direction into clear, actionable design work — introducing lightweight process that improves focus and reduces rework.
End-to-end design from exploration through to execution. User research, prototyping, design systems, and deep understanding of user workflows — particularly in clinical and healthcare contexts. I use AI tools like Claude Code to rapidly prototype and build functional products, compressing timelines from weeks to days.

I've spent the last decade working at the intersection of product and design — from global consultancies like Accenture and Cognizant to high-growth startups building from zero to one.
I'm at my best when I'm close to the work: unpacking ambiguous problems with founders, running discovery, and designing alongside the team. I bring structure where it's needed and stay out of the way where it's not.
Recently I've been deep in healthcare — designing clinical AI systems, mapping clinician workflows, and building products that reduce admin burden so practitioners can focus on patients. I also prototype and build with AI tools like Claude Code, shipping functional products at a pace that traditional workflows can't match.
Based in Melbourne.
