Finleap Connect • 2021-2023

Product Designer

As a member of the newly formed design team, I came to work closely with our different product and tech teams to support the growth of our open banking product portfolio. When joining the company, we faced a huge pile of design debt due to multiple acquisitions that led to a product portfolio with no common ground. As all our products were built as white-label, our biggest, yet most exciting, challenge became to build a new base for the design that could be used across the product teams. During my time in Finleap Connect (current Qwist), we also faced a rebranding project that led us to put more focus on graphic design for both internal and external communications of the company.

MyValue Solutions • 2020-2021

Product Designer

Before being acquired by Finleap Connect (current Qwist), my journey in the world of fintech started at MyValue Solutions. I joined MyValue as their second product designer after their significant rebranding project, which increased the design needs at all levels. The company's focus had been on building products of excellent technical quality and enormous complexity, so our design priority became to optimize their user experience and make them simple to use. We had four products, of which our most significant ones were Personal Finance Management (PFM) and Business Financial Management (BFM) tools.

Puheet • 2019-2022

Designer (freelance)

During the collaboration with Puheet, as their leading designer, I was responsible for defining and building the company's branding and design system, as well as for the platform design and its usability. I also assisted in the UI development for different parts of the platform with HTML and CSS. Another important aspect of my work was participating in client projects. I made sure our clients got their branded communities styled according to their needs and branding guidelines, providing them with all the required design material, often including landing pages. If needed, I also helped the clients to build up a branding around their community based on the concept and goals they had.
