About me
I'm Lan Belic, curious product designer born in Slovenia and currently residing in the vibrant city of Amsterdam. Working at Booking.com as Senior Product designer where I am helping shape the future of travel.
Beyond design, my life is about wandering Amsterdam's canals with my dog, Leni, and making family memories. I'm a Star Wars and Formula 1 fan, and this passion energizes my work, bringing a blend of storytelling and excitement to each design challenge.
Professionally, I excel at navigating complex design challenges and leading teams from idea to implementation. My expertise in design systems and project management ensures streamlined processes and successful outcomes. I’m passionate about crafting accessible designs and engaging in cross-functional collaboration, believing these are key to impactful user experiences.
What excites me the most is the opportunity to shape the future of product design. Leading teams, mentoring emerging talent, and focusing on accessible design are the core elements that drive my commitment to excellence in the tech industry.
