SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER · COPENHAGEN

I design the boring parts of software so they stop being hard.

Eight years on B2B tools and mobile apps: invoices, bookings, support inboxes and the design systems under them.

HOW I WORK

Three habits I bring to every team.

01

Start where people get stuck

I read support tickets and sit in on calls before I open Figma. The boring complaint is usually the brief.

02

Ship the smallest true version

A rough flow in production teaches more than a polished prototype. I plan in weeks, not quarters.

03

Leave the system better

Every project adds or fixes a component, with notes engineers can use without asking me.
