I design products that work for users and for the business
I’m Petra. For 8+ years I’ve worked across e-commerce, B2B and complex, regulated systems, from research and strategy to accessible UI that developers can build with confidence.
Work I can share
Most of my recent work for clients and employers is under NDA. What you see here is a small selection of what I can show publicly.
Uploading payroll documents on mobile
Initiated an innovative redesign of an existing HR and Payroll solution, aimed at tackling significant functional and UX challenges. The app empowers employees to engage with HR more effectively, ensuring effortless document management without any frustration.
From Page Five to the Top of Google
Transforming a underperforming online presence into a dynamic website that attracts new customers and excels in search rankings. Initially launched as a minimum viable product, now boasting over 60 pages that effectively showcase products and highlight the client's business.
From the business problem to the shipped product
I work across the whole process, from research and strategy to UI and developer handoff. Whether I own a project end to end or join a team at one stage, I keep the business goal, the user and the build in view at once.
DISCOVERY & STRATEGY
Stakeholder interviews, user research and UX audits that turn a vague brief into a clear problem, and a decision about what to build first.
PRODUCT & UX DESIGN
User flows, information architecture and prototypes for web and mobile, validated with real users before they reach development.
UI & DESIGN SYSTEMS
Polished interfaces built on reusable components, with organised Figma files that make handoff and future changes easier.
CONVERSION & GROWTH
CRO, SEO-aware structure and metrics tracking, so every redesign can show whether it actually moved the business.
Designer by craft, owner by experience
I’ve worked on both sides of the table: as a designer for agencies, government and in-house teams, and as someone running a business of my own. That second side changed how I see design. Every decision costs something, and the good ones pay it back.
How I work
I start with the problem, not the screen. I ask what the business needs, what users are struggling with and what the team can realistically build. Sometimes the answer is a full redesign. Sometimes it means admitting the brief was wrong and going back to research. Years of working closely with developers have also taught me to judge what fits the scope and deadline, and which version is worth shipping first.
AI in my workflow
I use AI tools every day, mostly for research analysis, ideation and validating ideas early. It lets me turn first concepts into visuals very quickly, so the team can react to something concrete sooner. I treat AI output as a first draft and check it against real users, data and the business context before it shapes a decision. I keep exploring where these tools genuinely help and where they don’t.
In a team
I care about results, and about the people I get them with. I do my best work in close teams where good ideas can come from anyone, and I enjoy helping newer designers grow.
Accessibility
Accessibility is part of how I design from the start. I’m an IAAP-certified accessibility professional and have run accessibility audits on government and B2B projects with development teams.
Nonprofit work
I like using design where it helps people directly. I volunteer for nonprofit projects from time to time, and one of them, supporting digitally excluded people, won first place at the European Digital Skills Awards 2024.
