I design the systems products are built on, and the visual languages that make them worth using.

Berlin-based product designer working at Radicle since 2020, Grover’s Head of Product Design before that, Design Director at Fuzzco before that, and Google before that.

Systems

The structural layer: tokens, components and the rules a product is built from, carried past the design file and into what shipped.

  1. Radicle

    Product designer

    Took Radicle’s new design system from design files to two shipping apps, designing directly in the codebase with Claude Code and landing every change as a patch.

  2. Drips

    Product & brand designer

    One visual language for brand, website and app, built on tokens: three themes, four UI colors, and a color for every project.

  3. Grover

    Head of Product Design

    Built the design team and led a full product redesign: a category system with its own colors and 44 icons, most of which grover.com still uses today.

  4. Migaku

    Visual designer

    Rebuilt the visual language from the wordmark up, then carried it through a design system for the flash card app, browser extension and website.

    Migaku’s wordmark on a card with a progress squiggle and review counters, surrounded by the mascot and fish illustrations.

  5. Fuzzco

    Design Director

    The studio’s own site: an endless, self-scrolling feed and a layout system anyone in the studio could use to publish a case study.

By hand

The expressive layer: icons, letters, posters and illustration, mostly drawn for products and teams, sometimes just for fun.
