About Arjen

I'm a lead / senior product designer helping founders and leaders build the right product, faster. AI-native, with 20 years of design experience - turning product strategies into bespoke, beautifully simple experiences. Clients include Nike, Toyota, KLM, WeTransfer and Polaroid.

I work at the intersection of brand identity and product design — visual language, design systems, interaction — for companies that want both to feel like the same thing.

Open to design work in SaaS and product-led companies. Particularly interested in places where design is taken seriously and the problems are genuinely challenging.
