Über Helena

I design digital products where complexity needs to become clear, intuitive, and scalable.

I'm a Senior Product Designer (UX/UI) with 14+ years of experience designing apps, enterprise platforms, and B2B SaaS products. My work spans the full product lifecycle—from research, discovery, and user flows to design systems, high-fidelity UI, prototyping, and developer handoff.

I specialise in turning complex requirements, workflows, and large amounts of information into structured, user-centred experiences. Design systems are a particular strength of mine, and I enjoy creating scalable foundations that help products evolve consistently over time.

Throughout my career, I've worked closely with product, engineering, and business teams to balance user needs, technical constraints, and business goals. Whether I'm improving an existing product or designing a new one from the ground up, I bring a structured approach, clear communication, and a strong sense of ownership.

Clients value my reliability, attention to detail, and ability to move quickly without compromising quality. I'm comfortable working in complex environments and enjoy solving challenging problems through thoughtful, practical design.

Alongside product design, photography has strengthened my eye for composition, hierarchy, and visual storytelling—skills that naturally influence my design work.

I'm currently available for freelance product design projects where collaboration, ownership, and long-term product thinking are valued.

    I work as a freelance UX/UI and digital product designer supporting companies and start-ups across Europe in designing clear, user-centred digital products.

    My focus is on mobile apps, SaaS platforms, and modern websites, combining UX strategy, strong UI design, and scalable design systems. I work hands-on from early discovery and design workshops through to high-fidelity UI, prototyping, and no-code website implementation (Webflow), ensuring solutions are both usable and feasible.

    Alongside product design, I bring a strong visual background, including photography, which informs my sense for hierarchy, composition, and visual clarity. My approach balances business goals, user needs, and technical constraints to deliver cohesive, functional, and high-quality digital experiences.

    I’m open to project-based work, long-term freelance support, and cross-disciplinary collaborations.
