Hey! I’m Aleks, a product designer from Serbia, now working at N26 bank in Berlin 🇩🇪

I started out with an engineering background, earning a Bachelor’s in Operations Management and an MSc in Business Analytics. That’s where I got hooked on systems thinking and learned how to create real business impact.
‍
At N26, I empower customers to build healthy investment habits. Over the past three years, I’ve contributed to shaping our product vision and delivered two "big bet" strategic products: N26 Crypto (2023), and N26 Stocks and ETFs (2024).

Working on complex, highly regulated financial products has honed my skills in working around tough constraints, storytelling and effectively managing high-impact stakeholders, including leadership, legal, compliance, localization, tech, marketing, and other cross-functional teams.

In my free time, I play drums, I go hiking with my dog Bucko, and I love karaoke!

My approach goes beyond visuals.
‍
By partnering closely with product leadership, I bring insights that shape the product vision, define success, and ensure every design decision aligns with our strategic goals, driving impactful and measurable results.
