Senior product designer · Berlin

I design financial products. Then I build them.

Eight years designing trading tools, staking apps and developer infrastructure for fintech and Web3 teams. Now I take the work from first sketch to production code, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Sprints, design and build, fractional, full-time

Designed. Then built.

Since February 2026 I've also built the frontends for what I design, in React, Next.js and TypeScript with AI-assisted coding. Happy to walk through any of them on a call.

All the work

The details in between.

A trade that half fills. A stake that's still pending. A balance that looks wrong for three seconds. That's where people decide whether to trust a financial product, so I design for those moments, then build them.

Eight years designing how money moves.

Hi, I'm Dan.

I'm a British designer based in Berlin. I've been designing since 2013, and for the last eight years on financial products, from leading LSEG's design system team to Head of Design at Pye. I usually work remotely with US teams.

Working together

Mostly financial and Web3 products. Remote from Berlin, usually with US teams.

  • Validation sprint, one week.

    One idea, one flow, a working build you can put in front of users by Friday.

  • Design and build.

    A product, a feature or a brand, designed and built end to end. Dense UIs, design systems, the frontend included.

  • Fractional head of design.

    Design, product and frontend for a team that can't hire all three yet. A few days a week, a few months at a time.

  • Senior or founding roles.

    Full-time, for the right product.
