Sebastian Anders
Design-led Product Lead · Berlin
Design-led product lead, closing gaps. Hands-on prototyping in code to navigate the team through ambiguity.
I cut scope by prototyping the ambiguous thing in a weekend instead of arguing about it for three sprints, I write the spec engineers actually build from, I close the design–engineering gap that costs real money. I am a product person who happens to have a design background.
