I align design, engineering, and product around shared outcomes, establish clear governance, ownership, and drive adoption by making design systems trusted foundations that accelerate delivery at scale.
Turning design systems into a strategic advantage
I’m a Swiss-born product designer specialised in design systems, currently open to new opportunities. I scale and lead systems as strategic foundations that enable teams to move faster and build with greater confidence. Along the way, I’ve helped hundreds of product people work more effectively by creating clarity, structure, and shared standards—while continuously evolving workflows to support more intelligent, data-informed ways of working.
As a design systems specialist, I establish governance, scale cross-product adoption, and align design, product, and engineering to accelerate delivery and elevate consistency. I focus on building systems that are not only scalable, but responsive—supporting more efficient decision-making, reducing friction across the lifecycle, and ensuring organisations meet their strategic goals, including EAA* requirements.
I’m open to contributing in a leadership role across the EMEA region, where I define vision, mentor teams, and elevate design systems as a core driver of product quality and velocity.
I believe design systems should be a flooring, not a ceiling—providing strong foundations that enable teams to move faster and innovate, not constrain them.
I’ve often observed this pattern among scale-up organisations during their early growth phase. Design systems become essential when scale introduces friction, and I help organisations put the right foundations in place early to prevent fragmentation and enable sustainable growth.
Design systems are a strategic capability, not a short-term initiative—their impact compounds over a 1–2 year horizon (quicker in scale-up) as adoption, governance, and platform integration mature across the organisation. Design systems make products sustainable for the long game.
If your organisation has not yet conducted a formal assessment against the European Accessibility Act* requirements. Through structured accessibility audits and compliance roadmaps, I help organisations identify accessibility gaps and implement the necessary design, product, and development changes required.
*The European Accessibility Act (EAA), Directive (EU) 2019/882, becomes mandatory across the EU by June 28, 2025, requiring key digital products and services to be accessible to persons with disabilities. It applies to e-commerce, banking services, e-books, transportation websites, and smartphones, enforcing WCAG 2.1 standards to ensure equal, user-friendly access.
