How I work

  1. 01

    Understand

    I start by learning how people work, what they need and what the data means.

  2. 02

    Define

    I help the team agree on the problem and what we need to solve first.

  3. 03

    Design

    Flows and interfaces take shape with the team. Research guides the details.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Developers get specifications from me, and I check the finished product against them.

I also take on product direction when a project needs it.

I've worked with companies across healthcare, technology and retail.

About

Arne Feike Arne Feike

For 15+ years, I've designed products that help people work with complex information: proteomics data, energy management and research platforms. That includes an energy app utilities offer under their own brand. I focus on making these systems clear enough for people to use with confidence.

I'm interested in AI for the same reason. I designed and built Nadir from scratch, taking on both design and product ownership. It's a personal AI companion for work and life: a character with lasting memory that helps with research, transcripts, notes and tasks. Much of my work is about helping people understand what it remembers, control its actions and trust its responses.

I lead a team of seven designers at Beyonder, a custom software agency in Germany & the Netherlands. I live in Murcia, Spain, and work remotely across European time zones. I'm also open to travel.
