About


Product designer with a strong focus on UX, user research, and crafting polished end-to-end experiences.I’ve worked on projects across a range of industries—shaping SaaS tools, mobile apps, and fintech products along the way.

I am currently contracting, leading design efforts at startups to help drive growth and contribute to their success. Most recently, I spent over 3 years as a product designer at Flexperto.

My mission is to make products feel as natural as flipping on a light switch. Designing intuitive experiences that build trust, feel effortless, and keep users coming back for more.

📍 From Sweden, but currently based in Croatia.

  • Figma/Adobe XD
  • Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop CC/Canva
  • After Effects/Premiere Pro
  • Analytical tools (e.g. Google Analytics, Heap)
  • Jira/Slack/Teams/Zoom
  • Notion/Confluence
