About

I’m a UX and product design leader with 13+ years of experience simplifying complex enterprise products and helping organisations build more mature, user-centred ways of working. At Siemens, I have worked across enterprise and industrial digital products, connecting user research, product strategy, interaction design, design systems and engineering. My focus is not only on designing interfaces, but on helping teams identify the right problems earlier, reduce product-development risk and create scalable experiences. Some of my work includes: • Introducing persona and design-focused development earlier in the product lifecycle • Leading UX discovery for complex enterprise workflows and industrial platforms • Establishing research strategies, journey-management practices and measurable UX outcomes • Building and evolving scalable design systems in Figma • Collaborating with product managers, architects, engineers and senior stakeholders • Bridging design and front-end development using HTML, CSS, React and Git • Exploring AI and agent-based workflows for UX research, evaluation and product delivery I’m particularly interested in complex B2B, SaaS, fintech, industrial, infrastructure and AI-enabled products where design can turn operational complexity into clarity.
