Hello! I’m a UX Consultant / Product Designer with over 20 years of versatile work experience.

In a nutshell

I apply the thinking and craft of user-centric design
to help you minimise risk and deliver a successful digital product or service.

I provide both UX consulting and design execution
going from research, analysis and strategy to information architecture, interaction design, prototyping and UX writing.

Benefit from my experience
having devised strategies and solutions for many clients of various sizes and industries.

What I can do for you

01

I investigate and evaluate the status quo
to identify key areas of risk and opportunity.


I will

map as-is user journeys across channels

analyze existing data & insights

conduct interviews, surveys and user tests


so we can

discover customer needs and problems

identify hurdles of the current solution(s)

prioritize measures by effort & impact

make sure we build the right thing

02

I create maps, structures and guardrails
to provide the bird’s eye view of the envisioned experience.


I will

model user journeys, flows and site maps

create design guidelines and modular template systems

specify content and functional requirements


so we can

arrange information and processes in a user-friendly way

have a shared user-centric picture of the future system

develop consistent, coherent and efficient solutions together

03

I design interfaces and interactions, and validate them
to facilitate the best possible experience in every detail.


I will

create wireframes, text and screen designs

build prototypes and test them with users

iterate and optimize


so we can

make our solution tangible early

ensure users will find it simple, persuasive and satisfying

implement quickly and flexibly

About me

Before going freelance in 2014, I have worked over 10 years as a conceptual UX designer in digital agencies, with 5 years in design leadership roles (see my CV).

I love grasping and simplifying complex issues, thinking across disciplines, and learning something new with every new assignment.

As you can see in the picture above, I’m fun to work with, but my handwriting is atrocious.

I live and work in Berlin. When I'm not questioning, structuring and designing, you can find me kayaking on the Mecklenburg lakes or making some acceptable German indie synth pop.
