Bio
Hello! I’m Lars. I’m an extrovert and I love everything related to design. In particular, I enjoy working with Figma to create excellent design systems or improve the user experience.
Solving complex issues and translating them into tangible designs that users can interact with, or achieving objectives with visually appealing designs, is what truly excites me. I’m not afraid to take the lead and guide the team to higher levels.
However, I’m not always solely focused on design. I enjoy relaxing with a good video game, working on my fitness at the gym, and indulging in a compelling anime series.

Senior UX Designer – Zerocopter, Amsterdam
At Zerocopter, I played a crucial role in the launch of an innovative marketplace for cybersecurity solutions. I led significant tasks from inception to implementation, including market research, persona development, brand identity creation, prototyping, user testing, and establishing and maintaining the Atom Design System, while also shaping the platform’s visual elements.
One of my highlights was developing a vulnerability management system, allowing users to manage their assets and organize software vulnerabilities. This system comprised over 300+ mobile and desktop screens. I collaborated within a team of developers, product managers, and owners.
Throughout the development process, I conducted over a dozen user testing sessions (both internally and externally).
