About Me

Hi, my name is Kerstin and I am a Senior Product Designer with 15+ years of experience designing complex digital products across fintech and B2B SaaS.


I'm proficient in product discovery, user research, interaction design and translating complex requirements into clear end-to-end experiences.

As a former Design Lead I have a strong track record of cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder alignment and evidence-based design decisions.


I use AI as a structured sparring partner throughout discovery, research and design.
