About Me
I believe great product design starts with asking the right question before reaching for a solution. I take a step back to understand what's really driving user behavior, where the value gap is, and what the problem actually is, not just what it looks like on the surface. Complexity doesn't intimidate me; it's where I do my best work.
I'm motivated by impact that's visible and measurable. When my work makes a system clearer, an experience more intuitive, or a product decision easier to make, that's what success looks like to me.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me lost in a fantasy novel, digging through record shops to grow my vinyl collection, or hunting down the next great coffee spot or neighbourhood restaurant in Berlin.
What I bring to a team
Six principles that guide how I work.
Problem Framing
I question assumptions early and reframe around root causes, not symptoms. On a recent app onboarding project, shifting the focus from login friction to perceived value resulted in a 40% increase in logged-in iOS users within three weeks of release.
Systems Thinking
I naturally design for scale and coherence, prioritizing solutions that work across platforms, brands, and use cases rather than isolated fixes.
End-to-End Ownership
From user research and concept exploration through high-fidelity design, prototyping, and post-launch analysis.
Data-Informed Mindset
I design experiments, define success metrics, and use A/B testing to validate decisions.
Cross-functional Collaboration
I partner closely with product managers, engineers, data analysts, and stakeholders, and I advocate for long-term product direction even under delivery pressure.
A Bias Toward Honesty
I share what didn't work just as readily as what did, because that's where the best learning happens.
What colleagues say
She asks the right questions when things are unclear, challenges assumptions when needed, and consistently keeps the user at the centre of the conversation. Her work actually became a benchmark for how I believe design files should be structured, and I've often referred other designers to her work as an example.
Daan
Lead Product Manager
Magda is a masterful presenter and storyteller - she has a way of making ideas truly stick. Her work is always deeply thought through: she understands the problem, explores different solutions, and makes informed decisions based on facts and insights before testing and bringing the best options to life.
Ann-Christine
Team Lead UX Research
We collaborated closely on a complex project like the One Marketplace homepage, which involved multiple stakeholder dependencies, significant ambiguity and required attention to detail throughout delivery. I especially valued her ability to bring clarity to complex problems, collaborate openly across product and engineering and turn ideas and feedback into thoughtful, intuitive experiences.
Marija
Product Manager
She works closely with everyone in the team to understand product needs and find practical solutions through clear, simple and user-focused designs. Her collaborative approach has made product discussions smoother and more effective.
Marcelo
Software Engineering Manager
I love your presentations at our All-Hands, and your Figma Make talk was fantastic as well. You always speak so clearly, structured, to the point, and entertaining.
Anja
Content Designer
Thank you for your excellent UX review of the favorites page redesign implementation! I like how you highlighted changes side-by-side with the existing design. It opened up a clear dialogue between designer and developers to ensure we deliver a perfect final product.
