Work Profile

With 15+ years of hands-on experience in UX/UI design and product strategy, I help shape digital products that are meaningful, intuitive, and built to last.

As co-founder and business director of MAD – Make A Difference GmbH, I work with a small, passionate team to solve real business challenges through design. Our clients range from early-stage startups to large enterprises and public institutions – always united by a shared ambition to make a difference.

I believe good design is less about trends and more about clarity, empathy, and usefulness. Over the years, I've developed a strong ability to translate complexity into clarity – helping teams and clients move forward with confidence and focus.

Investments & Side Projects

Alongside studio leadership, I occasionally support early-stage founders as a business angel – backing thoughtful ideas, real commitment, and projects shaped with heart. Some are close to where I live and work, others explore what technology can be when it puts people first.

Let's connect

Open to new connections and thoughtful conversations – especially about design, leadership, and long-term thinking. But please don't send me your pitch deck unasked – thank you!

You'll find the books I've read on Goodreads, the occasional thought on Twitter, snapshots on Instagram (though it's no longer public), or connect with me on LinkedIn.
