Zone 01 / About

I design interfaces that feel obvious the second time you use them. Ten years in, I still start every project with paper, a pencil and the question nobody has asked yet.

What I can help with

  1. 01

    Product interface

    Apps and dashboards

    Flows, screens and states for web and mobile products, from first sketch to a file engineers enjoy building from.

  2. 02

    Websites

    Marketing and portfolio

    Focused landing pages and small sites with a clear story, real responsive layouts and motion that earns its place.

  3. 03

    Design systems

    Components and tokens

    A small, well-named set of components and tokens so the next hundred screens stay consistent without slowing anyone down.

  4. 04

    Design partner

    Monthly retainer

    A senior designer on call for a few days a month: reviews, quick explorations and help shipping the hard screens.

Zone 05 / Questions

Good to know

How do projects usually start?

With a 30-minute call and a short written brief. I reply with a scope, a timeline and a fixed price within three working days.

How long does a project take?

A landing page is two to three weeks. Product work is planned in two-week cycles, most first releases take six to ten weeks.

Do you build the site as well?

Yes for small sites. For larger builds I work alongside your developers and hand over a tidy, documented design file.

Can I edit the site myself afterwards?

Yes. Every site I hand over comes with editable content and a short guide to changing text and photos.

Do you work with teams outside Europe?

Often. I keep four hours of overlap with your working day and record short video walkthroughs for the rest.

Zone 06 / Contact

Have something in mind?

Tell me about the product, the deadline and what success looks like. I answer every message within two working days.
