I craft digital products from the big picture to the smallest detail.

I'm Tanel Drui, a Principal-level Digital Designer with over 20 years of experience spanning UX/UI, product design, and art direction. I bring together user journeys, thoughtful interfaces, and scalable design systems – with an eye for detail and an understanding of how things actually get built.
