Senior UX/UI Designer at Cytiva, July 2020 – present
Cytiva design and manufacture complex laboratory instrumentation predominantly in the field of chromotography. The UX team is fairly small, but we are involved in nearly all products in the portfolio. We design a range of lab instruments, including those found in the Ă„KTA range, but we are also involved in the design of proprietary driver software such as UNICORN.
My role involves working on flagship projects, in both a hardware (industrial design) and software (UX/UI) capacity. Additionally, I regularly conduct interviews with candidates to check for technical competence as well as for compatibility with the team.

Sadly, the circumstances changed for my co-founder, and we had to pause our work, although I remain immensely proud of what we created.
