Senior Product Designer: your shortlist

Three strong candidates for the Senior Product Designer role. Start with my recommendation, then the CVs and their work. Interviews are planned for the week of 15 March.

1. Our recommendation

My recommendation

All three can do the job. I'd see them in this order:

  1. Priya Natarajan. Closest to the brief. She built and runs a design system for 1.2 million banking customers, and has one month's notice.
  2. Lena Fischer. The most senior, and an accessibility specialist. She's at the top of your salary band.
  3. Tom Okafor. The best researcher of the three. His three-month notice would push the start date to April.

All three are free for first calls next week. Reply and I'll book them in.
