Transformational product and design leader
I’ve built design teams and products at scale.Now I’m building DesignJobs.World for better design hiring.
Across Zalando, Samsung, Tourlane, and HeyCar, I’ve helped teams turn design leadership into measurable results. With DesignJobs.World, I’m applying that experience to help tech companies build successful teams with the right design and research talent.

How I help teams
What strong tech teams need from design
Across startups, scaleups, and global platforms, I’ve seen the same pattern: design creates value when teams have clear direction, strong talent, shared standards, and evidence-based decisions.
Create Direction
Turn ambiguous product, design, and customer problems into clear priorities teams can act on.
Raise Talent Quality
Identify, develop, and support the design and research talent needed for stronger product teams.
Connect Design To Business
Embed designers and researchers into product, engineering, and growth so their work moves real metrics.
Build Teams That Scale
Create rituals, standards, and leadership paths that help design quality grow with the company.
