Martin designs in Figma and thinks in components: consistent UI patterns that development teams can build from and reuse. With a background that also includes frontend development, he works closely with developers, speaks their language and follows up that what is built matches the design. He can take the work all the way from Figma components to a finished design system, for example in Storybook.
