Szia, my name is Anna.

I'm a product designer working with early stage startups. I help them build a product that makes you feel good when you look at it because it looks professional, beautiful and works well. Not just an AI tool but a human who cared deeply about how it works and how it feels.
I currently work for OVO Energy, leading product design and direction for a post-acquisition integration. Previously I was head of design at Bonnet, a London startup, acquired by OVO in 2023.
As part of my design work I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to build strong design foundations that scale. File structure, design system maintenance, AI workflows to make design and designers faster.
In my free time (limited) I've been experimenting with vibe coding. MiniPlayerView is one of my first projects, a native iOS component that shows live statuses in the app.
The rest of my time I spend with my family and my daughter Charlotte. I like to write about what works for us when it comes to routine and travel. Like preparation for a long-haul flight, gentle sleep training (my partner's article, link). Currently writing about our potty training experience. Teaser: going well.
