Reframed the SKU Matrix from a feature-replacement exercise into a broader product strategy, clarifying boundaries between planning, line review, and execution workflows before design investment.
Partnered with product managers and engineers to identify technical constraints early, align design direction with platform capabilities, and shape scalable interaction patterns before implementation.
