About

Digital design leader focused on creating unique product experiences with great teams. I believe in research, experimentation, and balancing design craft with strategic UX leadership. I know how to manage teams and run workshops, but I also love staying hands-on to guide design delivery work. Formerly at frog and Amazon, I've led the design of enterprise SaaS and consumer products across different technologies, including helping to take two AI-driven products from PoC to launch. Clients included Bayer, Bosch, ZEISS, Hellmann, Allianz, Philips and Audi. I also supported hiring and ran our L&D program for the frog Munich team.
