SEEKING WORK | Remote (EU/US) | Senior Product Designer – Design Systems, Design-to-Code workflows, Accessibility

Portfolio: https://raigo.design/case-studies

Email: hi@raigo.design

LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/raigolilleberg

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.

SEEKING WORK | local or REMOTE

Location: Africa or REMOTE

Willing to relocate: yes, to any location in Africa, where I can get the necessary permission to live and work. Occasional travel is possible.

Technologies: Linux, Front or Backend Web Development, General Software Development, System Administration.

Résumé/CV: on request (software development, CTO, mentoring, training, fluent in English and German, german citizenship)

Contact Email: see profile or http://codingforafrica.at/

Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work, but I am open to work on any interesting project. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so I am in the process to relocate to Africa.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and I am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.

I value good teamwork over fancy tech, and I don't shy away from working on legacy code. I am primarily motivated by solving problems, so let me help you solve your problems.

I am open to work for companies anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.

While I could find a job elsewhere I believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location I am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

In addition, I want to use some of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. I also sponsor children that otherwise can't afford to go to school (see my website). If you want to support this, I would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself. I can help you build up your team.
