• I recently started bureau proto to reflect my focus change in the past. For more than 12 years I enjoy pushing pixels to create something meaningful – for international companies as well as small start-ups.
• I’m a versatile designer who knows the tools to create experiences that work for your users, and ultimately, for your business. You can (and should!) challenge me with the bigger picture that may extend well beyond visual design. If you just need your PowerPoint to look nice, I’m the wrong guy.
• I want to understand everything about your product, your strategy and your goals. Based on that, I will use my expertise to narrow down the problems to be solved – making broken things look pretty is not my deal. I'm a team player and used to give and receive critique. While I enjoy responsibility and don't shy away from decision making, I love to hear everyone's ideas to strengthen identification with what we are building.
• To ensure a smooth and effective design process, I work with Figma exclusively. Coming from a tedious Sketch+InVision routine, that's fresh air for all of us. Bringing in resources from Sketch or other Adobe XD not a problem for me, but don't expect me to deliver any work in these tools.
• I designed user interfaces and prototypes for Airbus, DHL, Deutsche Bahn, Deutscher Sparkassen- und Giroverband, Fresenius Medical Care and a large social network from the Silicon Valley (NDAed). I also support leading agencies idalab and Kobold.
• I am currently working for two start-ups as side hustle and gained experience with many more in the past.

• Superdays is an app to plan truly unique days for your friends. Users turn personal contributions and ideas into a great present with and create meaningful events instead of unwanted material gifts. I was in charge of creating a product out of a validated MVP.

• Typelover has been my freelance business in the past. Coming from a graphics design background with strong typography and editorial skills, I became more interested in digital work. Slowly but steadily my role as a designer changed to a UI/UX designer with a focus on high-level prototypes and pixel-perfect interfaces.
