Senior Product / UX Designer · Crypto, Fintech & AI
I design complex financial products that people can actually use.
10+ years designing digital products, the last two as the sole UX owner across Trading, Staking, Loans and Custody at Bitcoin Suisse, a Swiss crypto platform for institutional and private wealth clients. I take products from first idea to production, and I build the design systems and AI workflows that make that possible.
Selected work
Five projects, all live.
Advanced Trading
A product built only for simple conversions needed a professional trading experience. I designed the whole life of a trade: market discovery, order types, execution strategies, error states, review and order management.
Proves: complex UX, financial workflows, market mechanics
Design System + AI
Three contradicting design systems became one: 128 variables, light and dark mode, semantic naming. Then I made it AI-compatible with Figma MCP and a custom skill, so I can design from VS Code into Figma using the real components.
Proves: design systems, AI-native workflow, systems thinking
Markets → Trading
Almost no trades started from the Markets page. I found the problem in the analytics, made the main action visible on both the Markets and asset pages, and the numbers moved: +15% trades and +34% conversion.
Proves: product analytics, conversion, measurable impact
Security: Passkeys & EAS
Two live security features. Passkeys replace the 6-digit code with a fingerprint. EAS adds three security layers before a new withdrawal account can be used, shown as one clear timeline.
Proves: security-critical UX, risk, regulated constraints
Client Center
Clients reached their relationship manager by email, phone, Telegram and WhatsApp, which opened the door to phishing. I designed one secure message center inside the platform, with relationship managers involved at every round.
Proves: information architecture, secure communication, working with real users
Recommendations
What people I work with say.
From LinkedIn recommendations by colleagues, clients and people I have mentored.
She’s very interested in AI and how it is changing the way we design and work. I worked closely with Magdalena on making our design system AI-ready, and the results we achieved were great. She’s always open to different perspectives, but also knows when to push back and stand behind her thinking.
Magdalena excels at designing solutions that meet customers’ needs and business goals. She is an integral part of our product growth team that is in charge of product adoption and retention. Her expertise in design, UX, UI and research is helping bring a better product and service to our customers.
Her designs for the application were quite intuitive and clean for the end user to understand what’s going on and what they had to do at any page or component. I hope that someday in the future we can work together again.
Instead of offering ready-made solutions, she encourages you to think critically, ask the right questions, and discover your own path. She also has a clear vision for the future, staying aware of how technology evolves.
About
Ten years of making complicated things clear.
I’m a Senior Product / UX Designer with deep experience in crypto, fintech and financial platforms. I lead UX from first strategy through delivery, turning complex business, regulatory and technical requirements into something clients can follow.
At Bitcoin Suisse I’m the sole UX owner across Trading, Staking, Loans and Custody, designing revenue-critical products for institutional and private wealth clients. I use product analytics to find friction and connect design decisions to business results. I also build the design systems and AI-assisted workflows that make the team faster.
Before that I spent three years at Slido (part of Cisco) on a SaaS platform for interactive meetings, and two years at Accenture on international projects for Qatar Airways, Deutsche Bahn, La Roche-Posay and COOP Denmark. I started as a graphic designer, which is where the eye for detail comes from.
