Mudita Kompakt: minimalistic E-Ink phone

Led the UX/UI team to design the entire operating system for Mudita Kompakt, a minimalist, distraction-free E-Ink phone. In parallel, we created a dedicated E-Ink design system — built for slow-refresh screens, power efficiency, and readability — that powered every screen and interaction across the OS. The product shipped successfully, won iF and Red Dot design awards and recently got mentioned by New York Magazine

  • Strategy: Position Kompakt as a calm alternative to attention-driven smartphones.
  • Team & process: Clear Figma workflows, short weekly reviews, and simple specs that made handoffs faster.
  • Culture: Mentored designers and raised design's voice in product decisions.
  • Impact: Consistent UI, smoother engineering collaboration, shipped product, recognized by iF + Red Dot.

spaceOS: SaaS platform and Octane Design System

As head of Design at spaceOS, I led a team delivering the full SaaS platform for real estate stakeholders and tenants across mobile and web. Established design processes, enabled impactful UX, and shipped both the product and its design system (Octane). The platform was acquired by Equiem and lives on.

  • Platform: delivered admin tools and permissions for owners, admins, building managers, space owners, and tenants.
  • Leadership: set up design culture, critique rituals, and growth paths for designers.
  • Impact: paved the way for the acquisition by Equiem in 2022 and smoother cross-team delivery.
