Merlin Kafka

Hey 👋 I'm Merlin, a product leader based in London with an interest in design-driven companies and meticulously crafted software.

Now

I currently work on Product, Design and Marketing at Sequence, an all-in-one platform that empowers modern B2B finance teams to automate complex, manual workflows.

Past

Previously, I was a PM at Tessian, where I built AI-powered products and security workflows to stop enterprise data loss. Backed by Sequoia, Tessian was acquired in 2023.


In the past, I worked as a travel and adventure photographer, partnering with brands like Nikon, Adidas and Google. View some of my work here.


My background is in industrial design and manufacturing engineering — fun fact: I once helped design a chocolate factory.

Interests

  • Simplifying complex business workflows through intentional design
  • Crafting compelling brand narratives and visual stories
  • Exploring new interface paradigms enabled by AI
