About Marie
Hi, I’m Marie 👋 Senior Product Designer from Germany, based in Lisbon, mainly working with early-stage SaaS & AI startups as a long-term design partner.
I usually come in when a product has been built fast, shipping feature after feature, and things got messy. That's where I thrive: bringing structure, scalability and user focus without slowing down the pace. I speak the language of tech teams, adapt fast and work hands-on.
I'm deeply AI-native. In my daily work I use tools like Figma Make and Lovable to move faster, and I also have real experience designing AI-powered interfaces. I know what it takes to make them feel trustworthy and intuitive, from explainability and confidence levels to when you hand control back to the user.
