Senior Product Designer

I’m a senior product designer. I take big, complicated products and make them actually simple to use, then build the design systems that keep everything consistent as they grow. I’ve done this for 10+ years, mostly on products used by millions of people.

wetter.com Design System

One accessible design system across web, iOS, Android and radar. I took it from scattered Sketch files to shared tokens that live in both design and code.

// How I work

Research that changes things

When a decision needs it, I dig into how people actually use the product and let that reshape the design. Not research that just sits in a deck.

Complex made simple

I take dense, technical products and turn them into something people get at a glance. If a screen needs explaining, I’m not done yet.

Design systems that hold up

I build reusable components and patterns so a product stays consistent as it grows, across web, iOS and Android.

Work that moves the numbers

I design for products with millions of users, and I care whether the work pays off, in retention, satisfaction and revenue.

I also lean on AI to work faster and try things that weren’t possible before, and I like working closely with a team and helping other designers grow.
