KosovoWhat I'm looking for
I am a multidisciplinary web and product designer with over nine years of experience designing for SaaS and civic-tech, and with hands-on front-end development experience. I translate complex requirements into elegant, user-centered interfaces and strong interaction patterns.
At Celonis I designed and developed scalable UI components, evolved the design system, and implemented animation and motion to increase engagement while working closely with developers and PMs in agile squads. Previously, I led product and web design for civic-tech platforms, focusing on accessibility, responsive layouts, and boosting public engagement through visual campaigns.
I am passionate about design systems, prototyping, and accessible experiences, and I bring practical front-end skills (HTML, CSS/SASS, JavaScript) to ensure designs are feasible and performant across products.
