What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own end-to-end product design, combine research with usability testing, and collaborate closely with engineering and product to ship clear, scalable UX.

I’m a Product Designer with 4+ years of experience delivering end-to-end digital experiences across automotive HMI, SaaS, and B2B platforms. At Polestar, I designed in-car applications shipped across multiple vehicle models, leading the full design cycle from discovery through validation to production handoff.

I’m skilled at turning complex systems into clear, intuitive interfaces through user research, usability testing, and close collaboration with engineering and product teams. Currently, I contribute UX research and strategy to Langscape, designing 30+ screens end-to-end ahead of launch while creating a cohesive product-specific UI and brand assets.
