Kevin Böhnke-Schröder

Backend Developr

I design and build calm, useful digital products for the web.

About

I'm a designer who codes, with eight years of experience building products for startups and established companies. I care about clear thinking, honest interfaces and the small details people only notice when they're missing.

Right now I'm a Senior Product Designer at Lumen Labs, where I lead the design system and help shape new product features end to end.

Outside of work you'll find me hiking, taking film photographs, or tinkering with a coffee setup that is far too complicated.
