I make complex B2B software actually usable

Six years designing enterprise tools with deep workflows and many kinds of users. I make them clear enough that people get their work done without a manual.

Three projects, start to finish

Design system case study
Design system + AI

A design system people and AI can build from

As the only designer at an early-stage startup, I built a design system in code in about three weeks, with AI doing the production work while I made the design decisions. The developers built their component library straight from it.

Redesigning a Jira integration in its final weeks before launch

I joined close to the finish line. The UI no longer matched how the feature worked, so I redesigned the key screens and built the working relationship the team needed to get those changes in.

Six customer interviews that changed a roadmap decision

An integration looked like an obvious fit, but nobody had checked whether customers used the product on the other side. I planned the research and led the synthesis. The findings stopped the build before any engineering time was spent on it.

Hi, I'm Anja

Six years in UX, five of them in B2B software, most recently at SAP LeanIX. I think in systems, and I care most about whether the people relying on a product can get their work done, even when everything underneath is complex.
