Work With Me
Looking for someone to help shape, build and launch your next product?
I'm Talya Simha Mizrachi. I take products from an early idea to a working launch, across strategy, design, build and go-to-market.
My experience in product development comes from independently founding, designing, building, and evolving digital products. I'm interested in bringing that experience into collaborative product teams, applying the same hands-on approach to meaningful challenges alongside other specialists. I'm open to roles with U.S., Israel-based and remote-first teams.
At a glance
- Independent founder and hands-on builder of a growing portfolio of digital products and business solutions.
- Sole founder and builder: discovery and research, strategy, UX/UI, technical implementation, AI product features, testing, launch and iteration.
- Domain depth from nursing (BSN, RN), real estate and property investment.
- Open to full-time, part-time, contract, fractional and project-based arrangements.
Roles I'm exploring
Where I could contribute
Product Manager / AI Product Manager
Owning discovery, priorities and delivery, and identifying where AI creates real value, then shaping and shipping it with the right safeguards.
Founding Product Manager / 0-to-1 Product Lead
Taking a new product from first question to launch alongside a small founding team.
Forward Deployed Product Manager
Working closely with customers, going directly to the people affected to understand their workflows, and turning what I learn into product.
Product Strategist / Product Strategy & Growth
Connecting positioning, audience and roadmap so the product and its go-to-market move together.
Technical Product Manager
Connecting product needs with data structures, APIs, integrations, technical trade-offs, implementation decisions and release quality, drawing on first-hand experience building functional products.
Fractional Product Lead
Part-time product leadership for startups that need it before a full-time hire.
These are roles and collaborations I'm open to, not past job titles. I'm especially interested in roles spanning customer discovery, product strategy, cross-functional development, and early-stage growth.
What I've practised
Product work across the whole arc
- Curiosity first. Evidence before assumptions.
- I notice problems, investigate what's happening, study existing approaches and talk directly with the people affected. I organise what I learn, look for patterns and let the findings guide decisions. My nursing background strengthened my foundation in research, statistical reasoning and evidence-based judgment.
- Strategy & prioritisation
- Choosing a focused scope, sequencing features and deciding what should wait.
- UX/UI & prototyping
- Designing the journey, interface and language people actually move through.
- Making AI useful within the product
- I look for places where AI can solve a real problem, simplify a complicated workflow or make an experience more useful, then design and integrate it with attention to usability, reliability, safeguards and the people who depend on it. AI-assisted development tools are also part of my everyday technical workflow.
- Hands-on implementation
- Planning the architecture and building working software myself: data models, sign-in and roles, APIs, integrations and deployment.
- Testing, security & quality
- Debugging, reviewing security and access rules, writing automated tests and deciding when something is ready to release.
- Learning from what actually happens
- Research continues after launch. I use direct feedback, product and operational data, and reporting tools I've built for my ventures to find friction, test assumptions and decide what to improve next.
Research deeply. Build thoughtfully. Learn quickly.
I enjoy turning questions into experiments and insights into improvements. I value direct communication, collaboration, and enough autonomy to move quickly, while keeping quality, evidence and real user needs at the centre of the work. I'm drawn to startups and small teams that like to test and learn, and open to established companies where the fit is right.
The full process is on Work, and new ideas being tested are in the founder lab.
Evidence in the portfolio
Products I've founded and built
Built independently, from idea to launch.
Each product here is one I've founded and built independently. I've handled the research, product strategy, UX/UI, technical implementation, testing, release decisions, and relevant business and go-to-market work myself.
Working across the entire product lifecycle has taught me how these disciplines connect, and how to bring that perspective into a collaborative team.

You're looking at another example. I designed and built this website on my own, including AI speech transcription with validation, usage limits and a typed fallback, custom administration tools, in-browser image signing and sharing, role-based access controls and automated testing.
Business development & go-to-market
Building the product and the path to its first users
In my own products, business development shapes the product itself: research tells me who it's for, positioning shapes what it does first, and launch plans affect what gets built. For an early-stage startup, that means one person can connect product decisions with market reality before dedicated growth or marketing teams exist. My background as a registered nurse (BSN, RN), licensed real estate agent and property investor adds first-hand domain insight.
- Customer & market research
- Understanding the people, their context and the alternatives they already use.
- Competitor analysis & opportunity
- Finding where existing options fall short and where a focused product can help.
- Audience & positioning
- Deciding exactly who a product is for and how it should be understood.
- Messaging & early marketing
- Writing the words, brand and first-impression experience that explain the value.
- Launch & distribution planning
- Choosing channels, early-access paths and pricing or packaging to reach first users.
- Outreach & adoption experiments
- Personally onboarding early users and testing ways to get a product used.
- Feedback, analytics & iteration
- Turning what people say and do into the next product decision.
