Background

Starting out as a graphic designer with a background in marketing and brand design, it was my creative curiosity about the value of people's experiences that led to my interest in product design. I believe that through creative thinking we can solve even the most complex problem with a simple solution.

SwissBorg
Senior Product Designer

SwissBorg is a trusted blockchain-based investment platform, with a core focus on wealth management.

As a product designer at SwissBorg, I spend most my time working on SwissBorg's flagship product, the SwissBorg App. I create user journeys, wireframes and interface designs for new and improved features.

As the lead designer for the Crypto Challenge app, I was responsible for the full user experience and interface design. I created the brand Identity and collaborated with a character designer to bring the app’s personality to life.

I continuously help to expand and improve SwissBorg’s design system to ensure consistent and accurate implementation between design and development.
