Summary

I help large-size companies build future-proof profitable digital solutions based on the customer’s real needs.

I strongly believe that doing the right things is more valuable than just doing things right.

Therefore:

  • I empathize with users to understand their context and problems by, for example, stepping into their shoes.
  • I develop ideas, derive concepts, and build (rapid) prototypes based on previously uncovered insights.
  • I prepare and conduct (rapid) user tests to gather feedback from users as early as possible in the design process.

To enhance results, I enjoy working with interdisciplinary and diverse teams.

I am passionate about turning highly complex technical systems, business requirements, customer needs, and design constraints into simple-to-use and aesthetically pleasing experiences. This includes designing and optimizing websites, smartphone apps, and enterprise systems, among others, using tools like Sketch, Figma, InVision, or Photoshop.

Skilled in Agile Methodologies (certified Professional Scrum Master and Professional Scrum with UX), Web Development, Branding, Product Management (certified Professional Scrum Product Owner), and Stakeholder Management in German, English, and Bavarian.
