Jens O.
Last position:
Frontend Developer at Volkswagen Financial Services AG
Cross-brand design system
Focus: Analysis of the causes of recurring layout deviations in design system components. The cause was the integration of visual regression tests (BackstopJS) into the build and approval process: deviations were not blocked, and reference images were replaced without approval.
Recommendations for a controlled workflow with mandatory approval and test results as a prerequisite for merging. Contributed to the successor system based on Lit/Web Components.
Technologies: Lit, Web Components, SCSS, Gulp, BackstopJS, GitHub Enterprise, JFrog Artifactory

About the technology
What SVG is
SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, is an XML-based format for describing two-dimensional graphics. Shapes, paths, text and colors remain crisp at any resolution, so SVG works well across phones, large screens and print workflows. Files can be embedded directly in HTML or used as images.
Where it fits
SVG supports interfaces, product illustrations, logos, maps, diagrams and data visualizations. Its elements can respond to CSS, JavaScript and user input, making it useful for more than static artwork.
- Responsive icons and logo systems
- Interactive charts, maps and diagrams
- Animated illustrations and state changes
- Accessible graphics for web products
Ecosystem and tooling
Professionals work with SVG elements, viewBox settings, paths, masks, gradients and filters. Common tools include Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape and browser inspection tools, while CSS and JavaScript control styling and interaction. Frameworks such as React and Vue can render SVG components inside larger interfaces.
When expertise helps
Companies bring in freelance SVG specialists when visual assets must scale cleanly, load efficiently or behave consistently across browsers. Expertise is also valuable when a design library needs reusable icons, when complex illustrations require animation, or when existing files contain unnecessary paths and metadata.
- Convert raster artwork into maintainable vector assets
- Build reusable icon and illustration systems
- Optimize SVG markup, file size and rendering
- Connect graphics to data or interface states
Strong implementation practice
A strong professional separates presentation from structure, uses meaningful grouping and keeps the viewBox predictable. They understand path precision, coordinate systems, clipping, animation limits and browser behavior. They also check keyboard access, text alternatives and reduced-motion needs instead of treating SVG as decoration alone.
Working with specialists
A project brief should define target browsers, output formats, brand rules, interaction states and accessibility expectations. In Germany, teams may collaborate remotely or on site depending on design reviews, security needs and existing workflows; clear documentation keeps handovers efficient in either setup. Quality is easiest to assess through source files, responsive examples and evidence of careful optimization.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about SVG? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
SVG is used for logos, icons, illustrations, charts, maps and other graphics that must stay sharp at different sizes. Its elements can be styled, animated and connected to interface behavior with CSS and JavaScript.
SVG scales without the pixelation associated with PNG or JPEG and can often be smaller for simple artwork. Unlike icon fonts, it supports richer shapes, clearer semantics and more direct control over individual graphic elements.
A strong SVG professional usually understands XML structure, CSS, JavaScript, responsive layout and browser rendering. Experience with Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape, accessibility and a framework such as React or Vue can also matter.
The right level depends on the work rather than a fixed duration. A simple icon cleanup may need focused production skills, while an interactive map, animated illustration or shared design system calls for deeper knowledge of paths, performance, accessibility and integration.
Yes, most SVG work can be completed remotely through shared design files, repositories and browser-based reviews. On-site sessions can still help when visual decisions, brand approvals or sensitive product workflows require close collaboration in Germany.
Review source files, not only rendered images. A capable SVG specialist produces organized markup, sensible viewBox values, reusable components, optimized paths and graphics that remain usable with keyboard access, screen readers and reduced-motion settings.
SVG is usually a strong choice for interface graphics, diagrams and illustrations where individual elements need styling, accessibility or interaction. Canvas can be more suitable for large numbers of rapidly changing pixels, such as demanding simulations or game scenes.
Define the graphics required, target sizes, browsers, brand guidance, animation states and delivery format. For SVG, also specify accessibility expectations, editing requirements, framework integration and whether the professional must optimize existing assets or create them from scratch.
