Jovana JevticFrontend Developer

“I worked with Sven while he was at Talpa. We were in the same team but different companies. Company that i work for is based in Serbia so our communication was remote. From my point of view he is very committed to work, always looking to improve things and always trying to understand us developers. Furthermore he is very talented designer and easy to get along with.”

Nikola RusakovDeveloper

“Sven and I were working on the same project, Veronica Inside. He is capable to take over work-in-progress and design system with current look and feel and turn it into great project/product. Interaction per designer-developer basis was overwhelmingly smooth and we had an opportunity to share common interests and views on UI/UX. Sven's great attention to detail saved us hours and difficult times before and after public release. Sven stands out not only as an employee, but also as a human being who makes working environment nicer place to be in.”

“Sven is a hard working designer who is able to translate an abstract business objective into a graphic digital design. For me, Sven was perfect match to accelerate my business execution power.”

How I approach Product Design

Define the problem

Align on the user problem, business goals and constraints. Define what success looks like before exploring solutions.

01

Collect data and conduct research

Combine user research, journey mapping and available data to understand needs, uncover friction and challenge assumptions.

02

Brainstorm and conceptualize

Explore different directions with the team. Make trade-offs explicit and turn research insights into concepts we can test.

03

Create a prototype & gather feedback

Build prototypes and test them with the people who will use the product. Use their feedback to refine the experience before development.

04

Select, finalize, build

Work with engineers and product managers to refine the details, resolve constraints and carry the design through to a usable product.

05

Improve

Review feedback and product data after launch. Identify what works, what needs attention and where the next iteration can make a difference.

06

Let's make complex experiences feel simple.
