Digital Experience and Product Design

I work with organizations to create AI-native experiences, products and services.

UX Research - Strategy - Design Engineering - AI

I’m a Berlin-based Experience & Service Designer who turns complex problems into products customers actually want.

With 18+ years in customer centricity, I get stakeholders around one table, turn needs into testable requirements, and move teams from assumption to decision on evidence. And because I build what was decided — design systems, AI-accelerated — it actually ships.

Understanding what is needed

UX Research

Eliciting needs from users and stakeholders, checking them for contradictions and dependencies, specifying them in clear, testable form, and agreeing them with every party — so the team designs the right thing, not just a thing.

  • Stakeholder and user interviews
  • Testable requirements with acceptance criteria
  • Usability testing with real users

From assumption to decision

Strategy

More ideas than capacity, and none with evidence. I gather where the real opportunities are, sharpen them into problem statements, narrow to the one worth building, and put a clickable prototype in front of real people.

  • Opportunities from evidence, not opinion
  • Prioritization against agreed criteria
  • A clickable prototype, tested with five users

To the shipped result

Design Engineering

You ship fast, but it doesn’t scale. I check what people can actually do, and anchor the fixes where they stay: in the components, tokens and standards your team builds on.

  • Design system & tokens
  • Production-ready components
  • Usability & WCAG anchored in components

Faster to a tested result

AI

AI speeds up the building, not the deciding. I build prototypes AI-assisted in days instead of weeks, use it to pre-sort research, and put AI into the product where it genuinely takes work off users. The evidence still comes from real people.

  • Prototypes in days instead of weeks
  • AI-assisted synthesis of research
  • AI features, tested against real tasks

End-to-End Customer Centricity

01

Frame

Align on the problem, the goals and the riskiest assumption — before anything is designed.

02

Discover

User interviews, analytics and market signals. Understand the real need, not the assumed one.

03

Define

Synthesize findings into opportunities and decide what is worth building first.

04

Prototype

Design the path a user would really take and make it clickable and testable.

05

Validate

Test with real users. Leave with evidence for the build — not opinion.
