I design things, then I build them too.
I'm Alp. 32, based in Nürnberg, Germany. I've been designing for about a decade, somewhere between bad startup logos and good Figma files, and lately I can't stop thinking about what AI is doing to the way I work.
I'm not your typical designer. To be honest, I'm not sure the label fits anymore. I design something, then I build it, and I only really know how good it is once it's a real, working product. That full loop, from the first conversation to the thing that actually ships, is where I come alive.
These days I'm building tokenhaus, a platform that teaches product and UI/UX designers design tokens and systems from first principles, and shipping free Figma plugins for the community alongside it. I'm vibecoding Vibehaus, a native macOS app for vibecoders, and partnering with founders as a design lead, designing core flows, fixing broken systems, and helping teams ship fast without losing trust in the details.
What I'm looking for
I take on a few new collaborations each quarter. Here's what makes one click for me:
- End-to-end ownership: from the first conversation to the thing that actually ships.
- Real autonomy: paired with a team that genuinely cares about its craft.
- Hard problems: I do my best work when something is actually challenging.
- People who care: about the product and the people using it, down to the details.
I won't pretend I fit neatly into a job description. But if you want someone who cares about the whole picture, the design and the code, the strategy and the pixels, we'll probably get along.
Sounds like a match? Let's talk.
A free plugin I made
A small way of giving back to the community I learned from. It's free, and 500+ designers already run it.
tokenhaus - Variable Import/Export with Links
FreeFigma Community plugin
Export your Figma variables and bring them back without losing a single alias. The part most plugins fumble: the links between variables survive the round trip, so your tokens stay intact when you move them across files.
