Brief
Own the
entire design.

Lohnbot is a regulated Austrian payroll SaaS, 4,000+ companies, 50,000+ monthly payrolls processed. I'm the only designer on the team, responsible for all Figma work across every surface: the web application, the mobile companion app, the public website, and the design system used by engineers.

The work is collaborative, the team contributes flows, terminology, copy, feedback, and direction through briefs and design reviews. I translate all of that into prototypes, components, and developer-ready files. Research, design decisions, and Figma output: all mine.

Problem & Solution
The Problem

Complex payroll.
No design.

Lohnbot processes 50,000+ payrolls monthly for 4,000+ Austrian companies, a regulated, high-stakes product with no coherent design language. Multiple surfaces (web app, mobile, website) were built without UX consistency, making the product harder to use and impossible to scale visually.

The Solution

One designer.
Five surfaces.

I built the design system from scratch and redesigned every surface: the web application, mobile companion app, public website, admin console, and the lohnverrechnung.lohnbot.at landing. Component-driven, token-based, and developer-ready via Storybook.

What I built

Five surfaces.
One designer.

01

Web App Redesign

Full UX/UI redesign of the payroll management platform. Simplified complex payroll workflows, redesigned the navigation architecture, and rebuilt every screen in Figma with the new component system, responsive across all breakpoints.

UX Research Product Design Figma Responsive
02

Mobile App: iOS & Android

Designed and shipped the Lohnbot companion app from scratch. A dedicated tool for employees to manage payroll documents, submit personal data updates, and receive real-time notifications, with biometric login and full GDPR compliance.

Mobile UX iOS + Android App Store GDPR
03

Design System

Built the Figma component library from scratch, tokens, components, variants, documentation. Connected to the engineering team via Storybook. Every component engineers use is tied to a Figma equivalent, enabling a consistent, scalable handoff workflow.

lohnbot.at / Website Redesign

Full redesign of the public marketing website. New visual identity, responsive layout across all breakpoints, scroll animations, and a pricing section that clearly communicates value to Austrian SMEs.

Multiple additional surfaces currently in active development, including a design system built from scratch and several platform projects. Details under NDA.

Design System

Built to scale.

Every Figma component is configured with design tokens, color, spacing, typography, radius, all bound directly to the component properties. The frontend team manages these components in Storybook, so what engineers build always matches what was designed. No guesswork, no drift.

01

Design Tokens

Color, spacing, typography, radius, all defined as tokens in Figma. Single source of truth for the entire product.

02

Component Library

Every UI component built with variants and token bindings. Buttons, inputs, cards, modals, all documented and ready to use.

03

JSON Export

Tokens exported as structured JSON files. Engineers import directly, no manual copy-pasting of values between Figma and code.

04

Storybook Handoff

Components documented in Storybook with real code examples. Design and engineering stay in sync through the entire build.
