Senior product designer · Berlin

I design financial products. Then I build them.

Eight years designing trading tools, staking apps and developer infrastructure for fintech and Web3 teams. Now I take the work from first sketch to production code, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Products I've designed.

Trading, staking and validator products, from Obol to Pye.

Pye marketplace for trading staked positions

Since February 2026 I've also built the frontends for what I design, in React, Next.js and TypeScript with AI tools. Happy to walk through any of them on a call.

Daniel Urquhart

Hi, I'm Dan.

I'm a British designer based in Berlin. I've been designing since 2013, and for the last eight years on financial products, from leading LSEG's design system team to Head of Design at Pye. I usually work remotely with US teams.

Looking for my next team.

Senior, founding or design engineer roles at fintech, AI and crypto teams. Full-time or a long contract, remote from Berlin. Also open to short, focused projects.
