DesignOps Owner & Developer

Hello, it's Petra, a change agent!

I'm a self-taught design system problem solver who gathers information carefully before sharing ideas, insights, suggestions, or questions.

With extensive experience in Figma and a strong background in comprehensive UI tokenization, I focus on optimizing design processes. As a former iOS and Python developer, I’ve gained valuable insights into the needs of engineering teams.

Managed DesignOps

I have experience developing and managing design systems that serve 100 million users monthly for the amazing Flashscore product. Below are the four strong design ops impacts I recognize daily.

Onboarding and Mentoring 

How long does it take for a new designer to build the product. Impact of a design system is when someone is using it.

Time and Difficulty Estimation

Drawing a dotted line for recognizing short time from design to market and assisting engineering in estimating the complexity of features.

Roadmap and Prioritization

Participating in various impactful projects and initiatives. Being involved in discussions and focusing on delivering business value.

Design Standards and Quality

Designers do not need to make decisions all over again. We build tools that enable them to do their job with technological and decisional ease.

Nobody calls our work as "DesignOps"

Advisory Session

If you’re looking to improve your organization’s design process, these are some areas where I can support you.
  • Work and Collaboration
    1.

    How do you communicate with each other? Do you engage with external partners? And do you have an efficient onboarding program?

  • Tokens
    2.

    Do you want to teach your engineering team about tokens? Would you like to tokenize your products for accessibility, theming, modes, or multi-brand switches?

  • Figma Workshop
    3.

    Is your team experienced with working effectively in Figma? Do you need to enhance your daily workflow and hand-off process? And is there any design training offered for non-designers?

  • Protocols and Tools
    4.

    Are you looking to establish consistent protocols for design methods? Do you organize tools that are easily accessible for all designers? Have you created a unified hub for your design assets?

  • Design System
    5.

    Do you currently lack a design system for your internal tools? Would you like support in enhancing the maturity of your existing design system? Are you preparing for a significant refactoring?

  • Multi-brand
    6.

    Do you want to utilize your existing user base for a specialized product? Are you planning to develop a new product on a different technology stack? Do you want to accomplish more with fewer resources?

about me

Architecture Solutionist

I am analytical, and my step-by-step descriptions help individuals understand how things operate. During my time at university, I developed a conversational model incorporating emotional intelligence, which enhanced my data-driven thinking.

I closely examine various aspects of problems, difficulties, or obstacles. Given my background as a Master of Information Technology, I naturally identify relationships between the final result and the events leading up to it.
