ABOUT

Maren Ottesen, product designer.

I’ve spent eight years making B2B tools and mobile apps calmer to use: invoices, train bookings, vet calls, support inboxes, and the design systems that hold them together.

I work best close to engineering and support. I read tickets before I sketch, prototype in the real product where I can, and measure what changed after release.

I live in Copenhagen with a partner, a bike and too many notebooks. I’m looking for a Senior or Lead role on a product team that ships every week.
