Product designer, from founding designer roles to AWS’s global sales platform. Before moving into design, I spent nine years helping tech teams scale across Europe.
I’m drawn to complex problems and overlooked products, and I make them clear enough to build, </> yes, reallywriting code myself so my decisions stay grounded in what can ship.
Hi, I'm Marta.
Product designer in Berlin. I design products with a lot of moving parts, and I build what I design.
Product design
User research
AI integration
Coding
I spent my first years in tech on the business side, mostly in recruiting, talking to engineering teams every day. A lot of what they complained about was internal tools that made simple work slow. At Amazon I started running UX studies on one of those tools in my own time, and that became my first design project.
Today I design and build. I test with real users early, keep the scope to what can actually ship, and write the front end myself, so fewer decisions get lost between Figma and the finished product.
Outside work I write poetry, shoot film photos, wander through museums, study Japanese and play bass guitar, mostly for myself.
My day-to-day has moved from the canvas into code. I still sketch in Figma, but most of what I make now gets built with AI coding agents. Working this way is fast, so I've put some structure around it: what agents take on, what they have to show me, and where I step in.
01 · Research
Start with the people
I talk to users and look at what's already out there, then write down who it's for, what's broken, and how we'll know it's fixed. Agents help me find the holes in it.
02 · Explore
Put options side by side
I design a few directions, in Figma or straight in code, look at them next to each other, and pick one or combine the best parts.
03 · Build
Build the real thing
I build the chosen design with agents in the real codebase, kept apart from the live product until it's reviewed. When they miss something, like spacing, a state or an edge case, I step in and fix it myself. Checks that can't run are flagged, never assumed fine.
04 · Test
Use it, then test it
I click through it myself first, then put it in front of real users. If something doesn't work for them, it goes back before it ships.
05 · Ship
Say when it's ready
Going live is my decision. Afterwards I note what I'd keep doing, so the next project starts a step ahead.
In short
I do the research and the design: the flows, the interactions and the visual details. Agents help me build and test faster, and the decisions about what we make and how it feels stay with me.
