Sparetech, founded by two former Porsche engineers, offers an AI-powered SaaS platform for efficient industrial spare parts management. Their solution helps manufacturing companies like Porsche, Bosch and Festo to identify, order, and manage spare parts, reducing costs and environmental impact. Their platform streamlines workflows, enabling smarter decisions and improved sustainability in spare parts handling.
Role
I was hired to help the team enhance the overall user interface design of the SaaS platform, while also developing new product design features in close collaboration with their clients. During a separate phase, I undertook the task of establishing and leading the development of a comprehensive design system kit with over 100+ components, which included the creation of an accessible and perceptually uniform color system, screen design templates and interaction prototypes. This initiative helped the product team to optimize the overall operational efficiency and cut the production cost for developing new features.

Medion, headquartered in Essen, Germany, offers affordable consumer electronics such as computers, smartphones, and home appliances. Known for their high-quality products, they primarily sell through retailers like Aldi.
Role
I was brought on to redesign Medion’s home apps from scratch. The original apps for their air conditioner, air purifier, vacuum robot, and pet feeder were visually unclear, hard to navigate, and inconsistent. We faced two big challenges: aligning the app interface with the hardware’s system status and creating a cohesive design language for all four apps. Through iterative testing and prototyping, we achieved a clear and user-friendly solution by incorporating design components like a control bar within thumb’s reach and using consistent interactions across all apps. This approach made the apps intuitive and a breeze to use.

Fressnapf is Europe’s top pet supply retailer, offering a wide range of products and services through 1,900+ stores and online platforms across 13 countries under the Fressnapf and Maxi Zoo brands. Their app has 6 million installs and is active in 5 countries.
Role
I joined to help the design team streamline and unify the fragmented design system, reworking core components to build a solid structure that works for multiple products. One major focus was implementing an accessible, perceptually uniform color system using the OKLCH color space, ensuring it works seamlessly across various products and delivers optimal results. We started by establishing a structured design system framework, utilizing design tokens to create a cohesive design for iOS and Android platforms. This approach ensured a scalable and consistent solution that seamlessly applied across web, app, and various services.

Providing a comprehensive data product builder platform, One Data helps organizations like SCHOTT and thyssenkrupp efficiently create, manage, and share data products across departments. Their AI-powered tools like the One Data Map streamline workflows, enhance collaboration between IT and business users, and support modern data management concepts like Data Mesh and Data Fabric.
Role
I teamed up with the design crew to refine One Data’s user interface and created a unified color system for the One Data Map that’s clear, accessible, and scalable for complex data visualizations. The One Data Map is an interactive tool that brings together data visualization and management, offering a single, interactive map to view and navigate data from various sources. In a separate effort, I helped the team set up a solid, future-proof design system structure.

Germany’s leading postal and logistics provider Deutsche Post offers a secure and convenient identity verification service through its POSTIDENT app, used by millions annually for tasks such as opening bank accounts or activating SIM cards, whether from home or on the go.
Role
Together with SprintEins, we designed and developed the POSTIDENT app from the ground up. I was responsible for the user interface and interaction design, aiming to make legally-binding verifications as seamless as possible, whether you’re interacting with the app directly or with a call center agent. This involved rigorous testing and prototyping to ensure the app is accessible to everyone, including deaf users, and functional across multiple languages.

What's it like working with you?
Think of me as a trusted friend with your best interests at heart. When we work together, I aim to guide you to the best of my ability. It’s all about mutual growth and learning. I prioritize iterative sharing, providing regular updates through email, Slack or Loom to ensure quick feedback cycles.
How long does a project take?
Projects usually range from 2 weeks to 3 months, though some have spanned up to 2 years. Every design project is unique and its full potential only unfolds over time after launch. I believe in maintaining healthy relationships, so I won’t leave you in the dark once the project is complete. I’m here to provide continued support whenever needed.
Do you accept all projects?
Nope. I only take on projects that align with my values and exclusively collaborate with people who care about the business impact of design and high-quality craftsmanship. Plus, I’ll only accept a project if I’m confident that the value you get from my services exceeds your investment.
How do you price your work?
I’ll dedicate ample time to understand your needs and what works best for your situation, then provide a clear, fixed price. This ensures transparency upfront about your investment, leaving no room for surprises. Project rates typically range between €30,000 and €5,000.
Are you open to receiving files with unnamed layers?
Absolutely, as long as the file itself is structured in some way.
Do you offer simple one-time consultations?
Sure. My clients often hire me for what I call time-to-value projects. Building a tangible prototype to validate a certain idea or creating specific interactions to provide an overall feel are two examples of this type of work. Feel free to contact me with your project details at hey@atillataskiran.com.
Got a design subscription hiding in the shadows?
Nope.
