Services

Strategy & Consulting

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

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

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

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

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 been pushing into AI as a design and build tool. 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.
