Bertie

Product Designer in Berlin

About

I work with founders and small teams in web3 as a reliable, detail-driven designer – synthesising vision, ideation, research, intuition, and craft into high-quality products.

Teammates often rely on me to:

  • Figure out what we should build, why, and for who
  • Help define user needs and business goals
  • Write product docs
  • Map out user journeys and flows
  • Prototype and test promising ideas
  • Design high-quality interfaces
  • Animate micro-interactions
  • Walk engineering through design specs
  • Identify visual and functional bugs during QA
  • Create and maintain design systems
  • Influence direction and process within the company
  • Source and interview candidates for the design team
  • Balance quality and scrappiness during iterative processes
  • Operate based on ambiguous and vaguely-defined scopes

Currently, I lead design across product and brand at Conduit, a rollups-as-a-service platform. I'm also a member of Vector DAO, a web3-native design studio.

I've previously worked at Syndicate, Compound, and Eligible.
