Portrait of Paul Michel

I started in product strategy at a B2B software company, which is why I think about business goals before I open Figma. After a design bootcamp in Lisbon, I moved into product design and led the design of a data heavy sustainability reporting platform, working closely with the CPO on roadmap and vision.

Today I work as an embedded design partner for early stage B2B SaaS and AI startups, in areas like conversational AI, recruiting tech and HR tech. I like complex products where the real work is making them feel simple, and I am looking for a full time role in a product team.
