What it does

Shosho is a writing, editing and collaboration tool that focuses on cutting the clutter from your writing. It allows you to share your stories with others, improve your writing by removing fillers, cliches, adverbs, and simplifying complex words.

Product designer with 12+ years of experience helping ambitious teams ship better products. Specializing in UX strategy, design systems, and end-to-end product design.

I think through every state, every edge case, every path a user can take — before a single pixel is placed. Then I design and ship the whole product, not just the happy path. That's what 0-to-1 actually takes. Not just the customer-facing UI. The admin panel. The billing logic. The email flows. The settings page nobody wants to design. I think through the entire product as a system — because that's what ships. Empty states, error states, loading, partial data, expired sessions, first-time vs. returning users. If your developers are asking "what happens when…" — the design wasn't finished. Mine are. My average partnership is 2+ years. I don't drop a Figma file and disappear.

    Ensō is a writing tool that helps you enter a state of flow by separating writing from editing and thus making it harder for you to edit yourself - https://enso.sonnet.io/ After 6 years and 2 million words of daily writing I feel like I've learned enough to make Ensō simpler and more accessible.
