PM who codes

I go by Liz. I'm a PM at Balsamiq, a wireframing tool for teams that takes them from rough wireframe to interactive prototype without writing code. I've been there 10 years: joined in 2016 as Sales Support Lead and CRM Product Manager (two hats at once, managing internal systems) until late 2023, when I formally became the product manager of our core product. The path shows up in how I work: close to customers, close to the product, and close to the code.

This year I owned the design, front-end implementation, and QA for our per-project to per-user pricing migration, including the Stripe-integrated billing page, shipped with Claude Code as my build partner. I also led the AI credit pack monetization research and set per-editor AI credit limits so they behave like electricity: invisible in normal use, only visible when spiking.

I work best at the crossover of product judgment and implementation. I'm looking for that kind of room: small-to-mid B2B SaaS, AI-forward, teams where PMs can ship.

Some of what I've owned end to end: shipping code, moving a room with data, and building the process the company ships inside. Click through for the full write-up.

If you're building AI-forward product where PMs ship, run their own research, and own decisions end to end, I'd love to talk. I'm looking for small-to-mid B2B SaaS teams where product judgment and implementation live in the same person.
