I’m Ben Gifford.
I turn complex product problems into clear, shippable experiences.
15 years of defining product direction at the ambiguous end — new markets, messy multi-sided platforms, and e-commerce at scale. I work best when the space is unclear and the stakes are high: synthesizing research, mapping opportunity, and driving from insight to something you can put in front of users.
I live on Bainbridge Island.
Open to full-time Lead and Principal roles.
Current projects:
Bootstrapped startup to solve the “needle in a haystack” problem of business marketplaces.
Providing strategic product + design support for early-stage teams or established teams who want to innovate.
Is that you? Let’s talk.
