Product design for the future of hardware collaboration

Wikifactory is a platform where engineers, makers, startups, and organizations design, document, and develop physical products together online.

I helped shape the product across multiple stages of growth—from scaling the core community platform to evolving the business into a more advanced SaaS ecosystem with collaborative workspaces, cloud PDM capabilities, and browser-based CAD tools through CAD Rooms.

My Role

What I did as Lead Product Designer

Define and guide projects at a strategic level together with C-level members, Heads of Product, Marketing & Marketplace.

Led the design and UX vision across the platform, ensuring a cohesive and user-centered experience at every touchpoint.

Shaped product roadmaps and drove initiatives from planning through execution to delivery.

Bridging the gap between design, development and engineering to turn complex challenges into shipped solutions.

03

The Viewer

CAD management that works.

A browser-based collaborative CAD viewer capable of rendering over 30 file formats without requiring native software. It enables teams to inspect, review, and share 3D models seamlessly across disciplines and organizational boundaries.

04

The Cloud PDM*

*Product Data Management

Cloud PDM was designed to transform how hardware teams manage product data throughout the entire product development lifecycle.

It brought files, revisions, permissions, and collaboration workflows into one cloud-based workspace, removing the friction of fragmented tools and legacy desktop systems.

The result was a more accessible and scalable way to work on complex physical products—enabling distributed teams to review changes faster, stay aligned across stakeholders, and move from concept to production with greater speed and control.

05

From Design to Production

Built-in CAD Rooms are all about accelerating product development lifecycle by connecting engineering teams and clients in an agile way.

A more accessible and scalable way to work on complex physical products—enabling distributed teams to review changes faster, stay aligned across stakeholders, and move from concept to production with greater speed and control.

06

The Design System

WF – Voxel UI

The design system became the operational layer behind the Wikifactory product experience.

We defined a shared language that aligned design, engineering, and product teams around consistency, speed, and quality. It enabled faster execution, more coherent user experiences, and a stronger foundation for scaling the platform across multiple initiatives.

At a brand level, it also played a strategic role—helping Wikifactory present a distinctive, credible identity within the developer and engineering community.

07

Key Functionalities

Version History

Keep a full history of design revisions. Easily revisit earlier versions for clarity, audits, and dependable project traceability.

Advanced CAD Diffing

Visually compare changes across versions of parts and assemblies.

Custom Metadata Visualization

Import and manage metadata including manufacturing technology, materials, and properties for accurate production workflows and overview of systems requirements.

3D Measurements

Accurate dimensions directly inside the browser viewer with accuracy you can trust, without needing a CAD license.

File Syncing

Sync files seamlessly between cloud and devices to ensure that everyone always works with the most current design version.
