8+ years of experience in creating user-centric, scalable, and impactful digital solutions for SaaS and e-commerce industries.
I’m based in Germany, near Leipzig. Currently, I'm part of E.ON. I love to work close to users and developers and bridge gaps between human, business, and development.
I'm a vivid Design Thinker and Figma Lover. I love creating solutions for complicated processes and piles of data. I think everything can be made readable, understandable, and enjoyable.
* Designing software. Not chairs.

Personality
I'm a gamer. Since I'm able to hold an N64 controller. More than once my product solutions were inspired by how games guide and entertain users.
I'm a runner. I enjoy pushing myself and getting things done early. I run almost daily. Listening to the city waking up or a nice podcast early on is just awesome. Plus: The coffee afterward is just great. Hook me up on Strava!
I'm an optimizer. I try to improve the small things in my life because I think that these details matter. I researched a lot to find my white shirt, the best organic coffee, or the sharpest knife.
I'm a husband and a dad. I enjoy spending time with my family. That's by far the best way to get exhausted. My kids keep me motivated and inspired: ”Why, Why, Why, Why, Why?”
