## Frequently asked questions

### What kind of products do you design?

Mostly B2B and B2C SaaS, platforms, dashboards and mobile apps in security, recruiting, fintech, insurance and real estate. I work across the whole lifecycle, from discovery and problem framing to prototyping, design systems and handover.

### How do you use AI in your design process?

I explore in Figma Make and Claude Design and build coded prototypes with Claude Code on the real design system, with tokens synced via Figma MCP. AI speeds up exploring and making. Framing the right problem, talking to users and deciding what ships stay with me. See the process (https://www.philippjohn.com/process).

### Have you led designers, or do you work as an individual contributor?

Mostly as a senior individual contributor. At Bosch I worked in larger teams for two years, mentored a junior designer, aligned daily with 7+ developers and saw products through to launch. On Bosch LegendsLab I was the UX/UI Design Lead.

### How do you hand over to developers?

As code-ready components, with engineering involved from research and sizing onwards. At NURI the handover ran through Storybook, at Bosch Security as React components via Anima, and today I hand over coded prototypes built on the real design system.

### Do you work remotely or on site?

Both. I'm based in Berlin, work remotely and come on site on request.

### Are you available?

Yes. I'm open to full-time positions or freelance projects. In a full-time role I want to stay with one product beyond launch and keep improving it with the team. Get in touch (https://www.philippjohn.com/contact).
