Senior Product Designer · B2B SaaS & Product Systems
Most of my experience is in B2B SaaS: products with multiple roles, dense workflows and requirements that keep changing. I work from product logic and interaction through interface design and delivery.
Selected work
Two multi-role B2B platforms, a staffing marketplace and the design system they share.
Complex operations.
One shared language.
HR and payroll for people who are already hired. Nine roles share one employee record: scoped access, one requests hub, safer bank changes and assignment-aware signatures.
Applications, inspections
and certificates.
A certification platform for food and ingredient agencies, covering applications, inspections, field visits and certificates for four types of users.
The design system I created for two B2B products: 177 shared tokens, accessible colors and written rules that developers and AI tools follow.

How a staffing order moves from the client company to the MSP and agency branches: ownership, urgency, outcomes and what each side is allowed to see.
Open case study ↗How I work
I start by finding the decision hidden inside the request. That means understanding the business context, the people involved, what can go wrong and what the team needs to keep moving.
Clarify the real need, the constraints and whose decision the product has to support.
Map roles, flows, states and dependencies before they turn into screen-level inconsistencies.
Use flows, interface design and prototypes to test the logic and give the team something concrete to challenge.
Work through edge cases and implementation questions so the product keeps its intent after handoff.
AI-assisted product development
I use Claude and Codex alongside Figma and code-based prototypes to turn product decisions into working behavior before engineering implementation. The goal is not to generate more screens—it is to test flows, states, logic and edge cases earlier, then bring clearer decisions into delivery.
Test connected flows and shared state instead of relying only on static screens.
Use functional prototypes to expose missing states, unclear rules and edge cases earlier.
Give Engineering something closer to intended behavior, not only visual specifications.
Designing with purposeAbout
I am Irene Porro, a Senior Product Designer with 5+ years of experience across B2B SaaS, platform products, dashboards, CRM systems and data-heavy interfaces.
I am most useful when requirements arrive as a list of features, different people hold different parts of the context and the product still needs to feel simple. I find the structure, make the trade-offs visible and turn them into something the team can discuss and build.
I care about visual craft, but not as decoration. Hierarchy, interaction and consistency are part of how a product communicates. The small details matter because they are where users understand what happened and what to do next.
Most of my free time goes to traveling, to art and design of any kind, and to my cats. I’m an optimist by nature: when something breaks, my first question is how we fix it, not whose fault it was. That works at work, and it works on a trip when the train doesn’t show up.
What I want most is to share what I build. One day I’d like to take the people I love on a trip with me, all of them, and keep leaving the places I go, and the teams I work with, a bit happier than I found them.
How I judge the work
I look at whether the product explains itself, survives edge cases and gives the people building it a clear, reusable logic.
A shared pattern is useful when it reduces ambiguity for users and the team, not simply because it looks the same.
Implementation questions often reveal missing logic, so I stay involved while the experience becomes a real product.
For the user and for the team building the product.
