About

I'm R.O., a Berlin-based product designer. I've spent the past five years designing products for Fintech, Machine Learning, and Insurance solutions, with a focus on integrating UX Design with brand and business needs. Before my product design experience at two startups, I led teams and designed media campaigns as an Art Director and Founding Designer at an Agency, leveraging my experience from marketing, media, and an educational background in IT. I'm currently building (in stealth) a product to improve communication among multi-generational families, exploring 0-1 product design and vibe-coding/advanced prototyping. I'm happy to chat a little, nerd out about software and design. Let's connect!
