About Fiona

I founded my own Sharetribe marketplace back in 2019. It eventually closed — but the experience taught me what it actually takes to launch one: the cost of every wrong call, the features that matter on day one, and the ones you can absolutely leave for later.

Since then I've been helping other Sharetribe founders avoid the same mistakes. I bring product management and design together — helping you decide what to build, in what order, and then designing it well. I've been in your shoes, and I know how to get a marketplace live.

Why founders choose to work with me

Built for marketplace reality

— 01

Focused marketplace expertise

Marketplaces are not e-commerce. Two-sided supply, trust, transactional flows — I've spent years on these problems specifically and bring that pattern library with me.

— 02

Product strategy, not just design

I help you decide what to build and when — prioritising features, mapping a phased approach, and shaping the roadmap. Then I design it. You get a thinking partner on the product, not just a Figma operator.

— 03

Fast and trusted

Ten years' senior experience and a sole-designer mindset. I write things down, prototype early, and review with engineers before assumptions become bugs.

— 04

Collaborative approach

I'll work alongside you on the product and commercial decisions, not hand over a deck and disappear. Most clients keep me on retainer for that reason.
