I turn emerging technology into working products.

I’m a product designer and builder with experience founding and managing products. I define opportunities, set priorities, design the experience and work hands-on to bring ideas into use, especially where AI and agents change internal and external workflows.

Portrait of Tirza Shatz

I’m Tirza, a Berlin-based product designer with experience founding and managing products. I love the early moment when an idea is still taking shape: asking the right questions, choosing a direction, and turning it into something people can use.

Curiosity drives me in life as much as in work. I’m willing to question familiar ways of doing things, let go of what no longer serves the problem, and try something new. It’s an exciting time to build products: I explore emerging tools hands-on, adopt what sharpens my practice, and use what I learn to design better experiences with AI and agents.
