Product Design
Kapsula
2015 - 2026
During my freelance career I operated primarily with early-stage startups and lean teams and often served as a solo product design unit. I have led the design pipeline end-to-end—partnering directly with founders to translate raw, technical concepts into shipping digital products. Used to fast-paced environments with zero design overhead, I have experience managing everything independently: setting product vision, building production-ready design systems, and driving handoffs to engineering.
