My name is Ruben Daniel Bejinar, a product designer based in Vienna since 2014. Currently working for a Vienna-based startup building a leading European mobile payment solution. Sometimes enjoying the occasional freelance branding/web design projects on the side.
My background in architecture has shaped my structured, research-driven approach to design, with a strong focus on understanding user behavior and creating thoughtful, effective solutions.
I lead the full design process for our product features, ensuring solutions are user-focused and aligned with product strategy. Working closely with product managers and developers, I gather feedback and refine designs through iteration. My role includes user research, usability testing, and creating wireframes, mockups, and prototypes for mobile and web, always maintaining platform guidelines and brand consistency.
