Work experience

UX/UI Designer at Drooms

October 2022 - Present

Frankfurt, Germany (Remote)

I'm creating and maintaining the Drooms Design System, a project I've been deeply involved in since joining the company. We started from scratch and introduced the concept of a design system, which had never been implemented in the company.

This journey gave me the opportunity to build everything from the ground up, including advocating for the importance of the design system to stakeholders and management, and securing the necessary resources to make it a reality.

The process began with a comprehensive audit of the complex product, followed by a complete redesign. Using an atomic approach, we started with the foundations before progressing to components, mobile-specific components, UX writing, email templates, and finally, the redesign of the product itself.

Throughout this time, I also supported multiple projects where we introduced changes and improvements of existing and new features to keep driving innovation and pushing the product forward.
