Dariss Harris — Senior Product Designer

I help define what’s
worth building—and
align teams to get
it shipped.

I do this by clarifying the problem, defining the right product bet, and shaping focused MVPs that teams can actually ship and learn from.

About

Most of my work starts before UI. I help teams clarify direction, align quickly, and ship focused MVPs that prove what works.

I focus on making complex products easier to understand and act on—through clear structure, strong system logic, and interfaces that reflect how things actually work. That includes marketplaces, onboarding systems, real-time tools, and AI-assisted products where clarity directly impacts engagement, trust, and revenue.

Selected Work

Value Hypothesis

If creators are given structured tools to launch and monetize challenges—and users are guided into clear post-purchase experiences—both engagement and revenue will increase.

Solution Hypothesis

Constrained MVP loops across creator setup, purchase, and post-purchase experiences can validate whether structured challenges drive repeat engagement and creator growth.

MVP Scope

  • Creator tools for launching and managing challenges
  • Structured onboarding and purchase flows
  • Post-purchase experience connecting users to challenges, community, and content
  • Community loops designed to reinforce participation and retention

Mapping the marketplace as a system—connecting creators, challenges, purchase, and community to identify where structure was needed to drive engagement and monetization.

Designing the product as a connected ecosystem—where discovery, participation, and community reinforce each other after purchase.

Solin post-purchase product experience

Translating marketplace structure into a usable product—so users could move from purchase to participation with clarity and minimal friction.

Results

  • Improved activation by connecting purchase directly to structured challenge participation
  • Validated creator-to-user engagement loops across challenges and community
  • Reduced friction across onboarding, participation, and repeat usage

Reflection

The core challenge wasn’t designing features—it was structuring a system where creators could monetize and users had a clear reason to stay engaged.

How I Work

My process is simple: clarify the problem, define the bet, design the smallest useful version, and learn from what happens next.
