Krisztián Hadi

I'm Krisztián, product designer & design engineer.

20+ years of experience, specialised in the world between and impossible missions.

I've worked with high-traffic media platforms, enterprise SaaS solutions and gaming studios. I'm comfortable with any design software, front-end code and working with or without AI.

Currently looking for remote staff or senior positions within Europe. I'm relocating to Berlin or Barcelona in early 2027, and from then on hybrid works too. Open to discussing other cities.

What others say about me

“I was searching for a person to fill a kind of ‘drop them behind the frontlines with a broken toothbrush and a will to live’ kind of position and oh boy we found the perfect guy for the job!”

Gabor Hoffer, former manager Senior Director of UX at LastPass

“In 2026, when AI already surrounds us and is part of our everyday lives, we need exactly the kind of person who can see through things with common sense and won’t let the tools generate senseless solutions.”

Ákos Kovács, former mentee and colleague Senior Product / Design System Designer at Airalo

“He taught me not only usability principles, but how to approach a problem, manage scope, how to communicate proactively and push the boundaries of projects.”

Bence Nagy, former student and mentee Product Designer at Nord Security (NordPass)

“Krisztian doesn't wait to be asked. If he sees a way to improve something, he raises it, and he has a real talent for anticipating pressure points before they turn into problems.”

Adrian R., former colleague Product Owner & Head of Technical Operations at Woodlaine

“Krisztian quite often goes out of boundaries of the requested task to offer the best possible way to solve the issue.”

Ilya Mamontov, former manager Director of Games Operations at Crytek

“He really understood technology, could code, and had a deep knowledge of CSS and how things actually work under the hood.”

Michael Zwecker, former colleague Head of Content Design at LastPass

“Instead of just delivering gorgeous UI and flawless UX, he essentially became our business-to-engineering translator, using visual thinking to show us what the product actually wanted to be when it grew up.”

Norbert Suhánszki, former colleague Engineering Manager at GoTo

“It was always a great experience to have brainstorming sessions with Krisztián, I could always feel that he also had a strong background in software development.”

Árpád Szvatkó, former colleague Senior Software Engineer at GoTo
