biangle labs.
Year: 2024-2025
Context: Startup consulting / Client projects
Role: Product Manager, Designer, Engineer
rapid prototyping and client concept development under startup constraints
Challenge:
Biangle Labs needed to translate early-stage client ideas into functional prototypes. The constraints were tight budgets, tighter timelines, evolving requirements, and limited resources.
My role:
Coordinate project scope and client communications.
Lead prototyping efforts, move concepts from sketches to physical models.
Balance technical feasibility with client expectations.
process:
Gather requirements through discovery sessions with clients.
Build low-fidelity mockups to test shapes, ideas, and concepts.
Iterate based on feedback, refining form/function of designs to meet or exceed requirements.
Deliver working prototypes for client validation.
outcome:
Deliver prototypes that help clients tell their story, test ideas, and unlock the ability for A-B user testing.
Strengthen business/client relationships at Biangle.
Expand skills in early-stage product management and rapid iteration.
Physical Insight:
Working at Biangle has re-affirmed that no two projects share the same roadmap. Iteration doesn’t always mean increasing fidelity, sometimes the best move is to return to the drawing board, reset assumptions, and ask “How might we…?”
For someone steeped in human-centered design, this process feels natural. For many clients it’s less familiar. My role is to take that journey into the unknown with them, help them see it as discovery rather than a set-back.
At the core of every successful product is a story: What problem does it solve? How does it communicate its value? And how does it endure in the real world?
