About Michela Paoletti
Product designer manager at EAE Business School
Hi, I’m Michela, a Product Designer with +8 years of experience, currently leading design at Paynest. As the first designer in a startup, I’ve tackled everything from building design systems to handling product strategy, user research, and developer handoffs—often all at once. I know how challenging and isolating it can be to work as a solo designer in a fast-paced startup, and I’m here to help! Whether you’re struggling with design processes, prioritization, working with developers, or building confidence in your role, I’d love to share insights, frameworks, and practical advice to help you grow and make an impact.
Topics I can help with: Managing design systems as a solo designer Prioritizing work when everything feels urgent Handling difficult developer handoffs & improving collaboration Building confidence in your decisions without a product manager Growing your career
