Christian Heynert Product UX & UI Design

UX/UI Design Lead

OneLog AG, Zurich

I focus on designing and evolving the company's web-based applications and digital presence, ensuring an intuitive and scalable user experience. Part of my role involves white-labeling the platform for various clients, creating flexible and adaptable design solutions that maintain consistency while meeting unique client requirements.

I lead the re-design and development of the company and product websites, leveraging Webflow to build responsive, high-performance pages. I also oversee and maintain the design system, ensuring consistency across all products and streamlining workflows for efficiency.

Driving the transition from Sketch to Figma, I’ve enhanced collaboration between design and development teams, improving iteration speed and design consistency. Additionally, I create presentation slide templates and visuals, elevating internal and external communication.

Collaboration is central to my role – I work closely with Product, Development, and Marketing teams, ensuring alignment between user needs and business goals. I also lead sprint retrospectives, review sessions and planning meetings, while overseeing task planning and assignment for developers to ensure seamless execution.
