DeepL
Lead Product Designer
Jan 2026 — PresentLondonI like the part before the answer is obvious.
I'm Sharon, a Lead Product Designer in London. I work across product design, product strategy, growth, and AI—especially when the problem is still fuzzy and the business decision matters as much as the interface.
A career built by following the work.
I started in graphic and brand design in Lagos, moved into UX, and later relocated to Berlin. At Lingoda I led a design team and helped build the company's first design system. At HelloFresh, I worked on retention and loyalty. At HubSpot, I designed growth products and AI-powered experiences from zero to one.
Today I'm a Lead Product Designer at DeepL. Outside my full-time role, I build products, teach design, mentor other designers, and use the freedom of independent work to sharpen my product and business judgement.

In other people's words
See the originals on LinkedIn“She translates complex and ambiguous problems into intuitive, user-friendly experiences.”
“She’s the kind of design partner you hope to work with again.”
“She is extremely talented and awesome to work with.”
Teaching is part of the practice.
I share practical product-design tutorials, career advice, and the lessons that usually get edited out of polished case studies.
