Temi has never been great at speaking in the third person

I’m a design leader focused on intentional decisions, strong craft, and fostering curiosity in teams I lead. In complex problem spaces, I shape direction, strengthen design quality, and build the foundations that let great work happen.

At Blinkist, I built the design organisation from the ground up and helped shape a recognisable, well-loved brand that earned a Google Material Design Award and multiple Apple features.

I later worked on Shop at Shopify across Growth and Merchant, then led Product Design for shopping and retail ads at Instagram. Most recently, I led Design at Hive, working on commerce operations that support independent merchants as they scale.

Outside of work, you'll find me on an early run, handbuilding pottery, or noodling on a new idea.
