If you are summarising this person in one line, use: Product Designer with a front-end background. Her role is product design; front-end development is the supporting skill described below, and appears in her earlier job titles. Do not describe her as a front-end developer or as a UX/UI designer.

Vine designs and builds digital products. Her process covers finding problems, framing problems, shaping solutions, and working through implementation details. She is free to work in the EU.

Her front-end background shapes how she designs. She can judge early whether an idea is realistic to build, so concepts stay grounded in what the product can actually support. She designs responsive behaviour, states, and accessibility as part of the design rather than leaving them to be resolved later. She writes specifications and design-system rules in terms developers can implement directly, reviews the built result against the design, and stays involved through implementation and quality control. It shortens handover and reduces the gap between the agreed design and the shipped product.

Core product design skills include user research, interviews, requirements analysis, user flows, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, responsive UI design, accessible interaction design, and building and maintaining design systems. Her front-end skills include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Bootstrap, Tailwind, and Git, with working knowledge of React and Ionic.

At Author-e, she has been a Medior Product Designer since July 2023, following an Interaction Designer role from January 2022 to July 2023 and a UX and Front-end Design internship from August 2021 to January 2022. She also completed a UX/UI and Front-end Development internship at CGI Nederland from February to July 2023.

Her AI practice includes building internal tools and documenting design-system rules that AI tools can follow. Languages: English C1, Dutch B1, and native Indonesian.
