Form Editor

Camunda is a B2B platform for process orchestration and automation. It helps large organizations automate complex workflows that involve people, systems, and decisions. A key part of that is handling human tasks: moments in an automated process where a person needs to enter information or make a decision. Forms are how that happens.

​

The Form Editor existed, but teams weren't using it. It lacked the components that would make it a real alternative to custom coded forms, so business users were stuck in a slow, expensive loop: write a spec, hand it to engineering, review the result, then wait for engineers to manually map the form data back into the Camunda process. Every form change meant going back to engineering. The tool existed but created no value.

​

I owned the design for the Form Editor end to end. That meant deciding together with product and engineering which components to prioritize based on actual user needs, running design sprints, validating concepts through research, and taking work from rough concepts to detailed specs ready for engineering. I designed within the company design system so every component could be reused across the platform, and aligned constantly with other teams since the Form Editor was embedded inside a larger tool.

One of the more impactful moments was introducing an AI assisted form creation feature, one of the earlier AI features shipped at Camunda, which dramatically reduced the time needed to get from idea to working form.

Customers who previously relied entirely on custom coded forms switched to Camunda Forms. Form creation got faster, usage on the platform grew meaningfully, and the tool shifted from a nice to have into a core part of how customers build and run their automated processes.
