I’m an AI-native designer bringing structure and clarity to complex products.

Anyone can ship fast now. Craft is the differentiator.

Design systems, product strategy, and code. I run agentic workflows to go from defining the system to shipping it, end-to-end and solo. Senior Product Designer at Solvares Group by day, building my own products on the side, like a specialty coffee app called Morningbrew.

Services

Strategy & Consulting

For teams launching something new or untangling something complex

I help product teams find clarity. Whether you're launching a new product or untangling an existing one, I work with you to define priorities, structure decisions, and focus effort where it matters.

Product & UX Design

For platforms that have outgrown quick fixes

End-to-end product design for complex platforms. From discovery and information architecture to high-fidelity UI. I focus on the foundational layer: navigation, communication, core workflows.

Design Systems

For products whose UI is drifting as they scale

I build and scale the systems that hold products together. Components, patterns, principles, and governance. Not just a library, but the thinking that keeps your product consistent as it grows.

AI & Automation

For teams who want AI in the product, not just the pitch

I integrate AI into product workflows and build tools that use language models, agents, and automation to solve real problems. From strategy to working prototypes.

Web Development

For brands that need the site shipped, not just designed

Astro, React, Tailwind. Fast, responsive, production-quality builds. I also work with developers on custom builds when the project calls for it.

About

Portrait of Ole Harland, product designer based in Hamburg

I'm a product designer based in Hamburg with over 15 years of experience designing complex platforms and the systems that hold them together.

I make products work at their core: information architecture, cross-platform logic, communication systems, and product foundations. The structural decisions that shape everything else.

Lately I've gone AI-native. Building products end to end, vibe coding side projects, using AI for rapid prototyping and product thinking. And forming honest opinions about where these tools genuinely extend what designers can do.

Values

01

Work in the Open

Share your thinking, not just your results. Trust is not requested. It is built.

02

Right Question Wins

Answers are temporary. Listen first. The real insight hides behind the obvious one.

03

Clear Beats Clever

Strip away what exists only to impress. Work that lasts is work anyone can understand.

04

Curiosity as Practice

Every project, every conversation, every uncomfortable moment is material.

05

Details Are the Work

Speed without care is noise. How something is built is inseparable from how it is experienced.

06

Decisions Compound

Speak up when something is off. Correct course when you are wrong.

07

Build to Learn

The point is not to show what you already know. It is to discover what you do not.

08

Context First

Before you build, understand what is already there. Awareness first. Then action.

I'm open for freelance projects, consulting, and interesting conversations about product design and building things that work.
