redesigner

Makes things over

A redesigner is someone who redesigns—who takes something already designed and reworks it.

The term appears most often in contexts of websites, products, or spaces that need updating: The redesigner stripped away the cluttered interface.

It emphasizes transformation of existing work rather than creation from scratch.
