Daniel Kahn — product designer, turning complex workflows into clear, considered interactions.

About

I’m a Staff Product Designer at Intuit, based in Mountain View, California. I work on the platform behind our live tax and bookkeeping services, software that tens of thousands of Experts on our customer-facing teams use all day, where small frictions compound into frustration for them and for the customers they’re helping.

I came to design from product, working as a PM and PM lead, and then ran product and design at a startup where I hired and built the team. That background shapes how I design: I’ve watched good teams build the wrong thing beautifully, so I start by asking whether something is worth building, and I’d rather ship five things people need than fifty they don’t.

I prototype in code, so ideas meet real users in days instead of weeks. Then I specify the details, down to the edge cases and error states, and build alongside engineering so those details survive all the way to the release. I think in systems, because at scale nothing you make stays yours alone.
