Senior Product Designer | Expert in Design Systems | 8+ Years Solving Complex Problems in Healthcare and Aviation
👋 Howdy! I'm Lisa. I am the designer you are looking for, specializing in understanding technical constraints and breaking down complex problems. During my 8+ years, I’ve supported users performing highly technical tasks in non-traditional setups. This has given me extensive experience in solving highly technical design problems that require deep domain-specific knowledge and systematic design thinking. 🚀 What I Do: - I lead design projects from concept to launch - I write about my experience as a product designer - I develop strategic design solutions that align with business goals - I conduct in-depth user research and usability testing - I develop and maintain design systems for consistent user experiences 💡 My Expertise: User Experience (UX) Design | User Interface (UI) Design | Interaction Design | Native iOS Application Design | Design System | Design Strategy & Research | Complex Software Design 🌟 Why Work With Me: - I think in design systems and components, not in pixels, features or views. I design all sorts of products, native iOS, cross-platform apps, and web apps. To me, the platform is less important than the design pattern. - I prefer solving unique and complex problems across various industries, where enhancing digital experiences can elevate services from 0 to 1 and help achieving business goals, rather than working for MAANG companies. - I am the one who asks dumb questions in the room, but my questions lead to solutions. - Staying curious, being collaborative, and constantly being reminded to not be my users are important to me as a designer. 💼 Feel free to reach out for collaboration, opportunities, talks or just to chat about the latest design trends.
