    I design and build AI products.

    I lead product design from research to release, across products, internal platforms, and design systems, often designing directly in code with AI coding tools.

    Paceback

    Designer and developer

    I designed and built AI conversations, plan review, and progress reports to support runners and the professionals who guide them.

    About

    OL

    I connect product direction, interface design, and code.

    At Talentium, I work with founders and engineers on AI hiring workflows. I design and build the product, its design system, and the marketing website. I also built Studio, the internal platform Talentium uses for development planning, sales, marketing, and shared records. People use it in the browser and in Slack, and AI agents use it through MCP. My work runs from research and interaction design to shipped code: React and TypeScript, built with AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex.

    At Klarna, I was the sole designer of an internal AI knowledge platform rolled out company-wide, and led Wallet and Store Pages. At Spotify, I designed the first Garmin app, then researched Car Thing through Antrop.
