Hey, I’m Niko

"I design the systems behind great products: teams, workflows, decisions, and AI-enabled experiences."

Most companies think UX is buttons and colours.
I think it's strategy.

Most teams don’t struggle because of talent.
They struggle because strategy, decision-making, and execution aren’t connected.

I help leadership teams fix that gap — using design as a strategic capability, not a decorative layer.

What I do

Product & Experience Strategy

Clarifying where to play, how to win, and what not to build — using tools like Roger Martin’s Strategic Choice Cascade to align vision, bets, and delivery.

Design Leadership & Org Design

Building and maturing design organisations: roles, rituals, governance, and decision frameworks that scale beyond individual heroes.

Complex Systems & AI-enabled Products

Designing platforms, workflows, and AI-assisted experiences in regulated, high-stakes environments — where trust and clarity matter more than novelty.

Selected work

A curated set of case studies highlighting how design decisions shape products, teams, and platforms at scale.
