Design leader for growth-stage businesses.

I'm Jithesh, a design leader based in Melbourne. I build design functions from zero — hiring, process, and measurement frameworks that move real business outcomes. 20+ years across Health Tech, FinTech, and Construction Tech, including scale-ups like Fitness Passport, Judo Bank, Airwallex, and Aconex.

Things I wish I knew as a young designer

Over the last few years, I have been helping, assisting in hiring and now actively doing this job of finding great talent who are hungry and aligning them with businesses that value design and are starved of the craft. This is a list of things that I have reflected on from my journey as a junior designer to where I see emerging talent struggling to find the right opportunities.

My trip to Product Management Land

Over my Product Design career, I have always wanted to take a sneak peek into Product Management. Fortunately for me, Reece has turned out to be a wonderful place to take the steering wheel and control my career journey, giving me just the opportunity I needed to explore Product Management Land.
