Noah PanProduct Design
Hi, I'm Noah

I make complex product behavior feel obvious.

At PartnerStack, I lead design across the partner ecosystem, where partners and SaaS vendors use dedicated sides of the platform. Partners discover, evaluate, and join programs; vendors find and recruit them. Revenue across this area grew 3× in 18 months.

I find important work before it reaches the roadmap, then use Claude Code and Cursor to build realistic prototypes with shared state across both sides. Product and Engineering get a real system to challenge early, while customers react to behavior rather than abstractions.

Now: designing AI that works within human-led systems.

Let's work together

Bring me your
messy problem.

I’m at my best when a product has accumulated rules, exceptions, and competing needs, but no clear model yet. Tell me what you’re building.

About

Before I design the interface, I want to understand the system underneath it: the rules, exceptions, incentives, and handoffs that determine what people can actually do. My M.S. in Human Factors in Information Design gave me a foundation for that work; 15+ years across retail, telecom, energy, financial services, and automotive gave me the range I bring to B2B SaaS today.

Across 10+ years in agencies, I remained primarily a hands-on design lead, occasionally managing small teams of designers on project work. That’s still where I want to be: close to the product, the people using it, and the decisions that make its behavior intuitive.

Outside work, I’m on a mission to find the most authentic Mexican food in Toronto.
