SEEKING WORK | Remote (CET timezone) | Senior Product Designer / Design Engineer

Location: EU (Italy, CET timezone)

Remote: Yes, async-comfortable

Relocation: Let's discuss

Tech: Figma + MCP, Claude Code + custom skills, HTML/CSS, design systems, WCAG

Résumé/CV: https://www.raigo.design/cv_raigo-lilleberg.pdf

Portfolio: https://raigo.design

Email: hi@raigo.design

I've been working in design for almost two decades, with the last decade focused on software design, design systems, and AI-integrated design-to-code workflows. Currently designing Jiwambe's customer-facing fintech product end-to-end and building a parenting app (Village) with my partner.

The fit I'm after: small teams, hands-on founders, software product surfaces (not pitch decks or marketing sites). Hands-on at the systems level (design-to-code, interaction patterns, craft consistency).

Looking for senior product designer / design engineer roles (fractional, contract, or full-time). B2B contract available. $400/day or $7-8K/mo depending on engagement shape.

Services

UX/UI cleanup & prioritization sprint

For teams with messy or inconsistent UI – I review 3–5 screens or flows and deliver focused feedback, Figma updates, and a prioritized action list covering UX, consistency, and early accessibility wins.

Design system sketch pack

For teams overwhelmed by UI duplication and design debt – I analyze your UI patterns and propose a scalable Figma component system with tokens, naming conventions, and (optional) dev-aligned notes or html/css examples.

Design-to-code process tuning

For teams struggling with slow or messy design handoff – I audit your design-to-dev workflow and suggest improvements, including refinements to your Figma files and process alignment with engineering.

Accessibility review (early stage)

For teams just beginning to consider accessibility – A lightweight audit of 2–3 key screens against WCAG 2.1/EAA standards, with an actionable checklist and UI recommendations.

Fractional design partner (ongoing)

For lean teams that need a reliable senior designer – Bi-weekly async support across UX, design systems, design-to-code workflows, and accessibility—adapting to your team's specific goals and workflows.

I’m Raigo — a senior product designer with 10+ years of experience, including 7+ focused on web and mobile apps. I’ve worked remotely with startups and digital teams across the EU and US.

My strengths lie in streamlining design workflows, building and scaling design systems, and collaborating tightly with product and engineering. I work well in async environments with high autonomy and accountability.

Lately I’ve been deepening my practice in accessibility (WCAG, EAA, ARIA), design engineering, and AI-enhanced workflows.

If your product needs clarity, structure, or faster delivery—I’d be glad to help.
