Available to hire
Hi, I’m Louis Buica, a Product Designer with 6+ years of experience shaping enterprise software, design systems, and complex, data-driven interfaces for telecom and SaaS platforms. My core strengths include design token architecture, component library design, and translating intricate technical workflows into intuitive user experiences. I lead end-to-end product design—from user research and competitive analysis to high-fidelity prototyping and developer handoff, always aiming to reduce task complexity and improve operator efficiency.
Recently, I’ve been expanding into motion design and AI-assisted design workflows, while continuing to build scalable design systems. I’m excited to leverage design engineering practices to drive impactful product outcomes and I’m open to full-time roles in Western Europe and remote opportunities.
