About me
Hi, I'm Nerija, a product designer based in Copenhagen.
I've worked in product design since 2018, and I love it because it brings together two things I enjoy most: design and user research.
I've worked on AI tools, enterprise platforms, and TV apps for web, mobile, and set-top boxes.
I've designed B2B and B2C products, and I like both for different reasons: admin tools for the puzzle, consumer apps for the instant reaction.
I run projects from start to finish: research, prototyping (often in Claude Code), testing with users, and working with PMs and engineers until it ships.
