Steph Hargreaves
Product designer
I’m a product designer based in London with nine years of experience designing complex, technical products. Right now I’m designing AI experiences and MCP journeys between Claude and Addepar, and the developer platform and API experience behind them.

Before that, I led design on a 0-to-1 AI project for HENI that generated $20M in its first nine days, and did the design system work for their blockchain analytics platform. I started out my career working on Apple product launches (iPhone 7 and 8) at Dan Tobin Smith’s studio, which shaped how I think about craft.

I meet and mentor other designers on ADPList and have lectured at the University of the Arts London. Say hi at contactstephhargreaves@gmail.com or on LinkedIn.
