Hey, I’m Katja.

I’m a UX and Product Designer specialising in design systems, accessibility, content, and design operations. I design experiences and systems that make life easier for end-users, designers, and developers alike.

Design systems

My strength lies in building and evolving design systems. I create scalable, accessible UI patterns and foundational styles that are consistent, practical to implement, and backed by clear documentation and well-structured Figma libraries. With hands-on HTML and CSS experience, I bridge design and development, ensuring that what gets designed is achievable, sustainable, and developer-friendly.

Accessibility

Accessibility is at the core of everything I design. I take the time to understand how people interact with digital content, especially people with cognitive, sensory or motor challenges, so I can uncover overlooked barriers and design experiences that work better for everyone.

Content and Learning Experience Design

I have a strong background in crafting online learning and service content. I translate complex ideas into clear, engaging formats that support comprehension and reduce cognitive load, whether through structured service content or end-to-end design of online learning suites.

Design operations

I enjoy bringing clarity and structure to the design process. My design ops work focuses on refining workflows, scaling Figma systems, building documentation, and supporting governance. I help teams collaborate more effectively and design more consistently.

Beyond the screen

Outside of design, you’ll usually find me wandering through nature, sketching, or crafting something by hand. I jog too... but very, very slowly.
