Factory

Factory was a simple music review app, launched while I was co-founder and leading product & tech at Oscillator.

As Oscillator's focus was on portable user context for both apps and models, we decided to seed this with low-risk, high-user-value data.

The result was Factory, an app used across Web, Desktop and Mobile. In total, over 250,000 songs were catalogued across thousands of reviews.

Mamo

Mamo is the UAE's first independent consumer payments product, designed with an initial focus on peer-to-peer payments as well as merchant settlement.

Seeded at ConsenSys in 2018, it was spun out in 2019 and I rejoined in 2020

Zeroheight

Zeroheight is a best-in-class design systems documentation, designed to allow users to catalogue their assets, navigate them, and clearly communicate the intended purpose & implementation.

I worked with the team to establish what shape this product should take and design the initial version of the app which went on to successfully serve 20 of the Fortune 100.
