hello, you found the messy desk

hi, i'm Susan.

I doodle products,
then make them real.

Product lead in Kathmandu. Half sketchbook, half terminal. I draw the thing, build the thing, tell the story, and stay up until it ships.

pssst. hit the pencil at the bottom and draw on this page.

03 · how i got here

The map

Started in pixels. Learned to ship the code. Then took the business and people problems too.

the job, basically: lay planks between design and code until people can walk across.

    Product Lead · Venture23

    AI and blockchain products from idea to live. Design, engineering, GTM, and the day-to-day when things got messy. Put agents into our workflows. Shipped five-plus games.

04 · peel and stick

Sticker sheet

Not a badge wall. Just the stuff I actually reach for.

AI, daily

Agents, LLMs, messy prompts that somehow work. To move faster, not to skip thinking.

Product

Roadmaps, GTM, stakeholders, the “what do we cut?” calls. And the people part when plans fall apart.

Build

MERN, Flutter, APIs, a bit of chain. Enough to ship, enough to not get snowed.

Design

Figma, research chats, prototypes. I care if it feels obvious on a small screen.

If you have a weird product problem, I probably want to hear it.

Collabs, freelance, or a ramble about tech, games or AI. Email is fine. Postcards are better.
