Senior Product Designer — 15+ years
Data-dense, high-stakes products — proteomics data, energy infrastructure, clinical research platforms. Now with a hands-on focus on AI-powered and agentic systems people can actually understand and trust.

From internal skill reviews and peer feedback at Beyonder
I dig into the domain, the data and the real user need before touching a pixel.
I turn messy problems into a clear, shared direction the whole team can build on.
Research-driven, collaborative, hands-on — from flows to polished, accessible UI.
I ship with engineering and stay close to the build until it holds up in reality.
I don't just design — I own the product vision when needed.
I've had the privilege of working with innovative companies across healthcare, technology and retail.
For 15+ years I've worked on products where complexity isn't a style choice but the actual problem: proteomics data, energy management, research platforms, white-label apps for 20+ utilities. My job is to make dense, high-stakes systems clear enough that people trust them and act with confidence.
That's also what pulls me toward AI. With Nyx — an AI companion I designed and built as designer and product owner from zero — I work on the hard part of AI-native UX: making an automated system transparent, controllable and trustworthy.
Currently leading the design team at Beyonder, a fast-growing custom-software agency in Germany & the Netherlands. Based in sunny Murcia, Spain — working remote across European time zones. Open to travel.
