Senior Product Designer based in Berlin with 10+ years of experience helping mission-driven companies build digital products. I lead the design process end-to-end, from user research to delivery, with a focus on products that drive positive environmental impact.
Energy Tech
A tool energy advisors use on-site to capture detailed building data, feed it into an AI model, and produce the official retrofit report homeowners need to claim government subsidies.
Urban Mobility
A Bosch-owned e-moped service across three cities — and the operational gaps quietly costing it. Ride UX, dispatcher tooling, and a field worker app designed to keep the fleet moving.
Climate Fintech
A climate investing app trying to cut through the greenwash. Sustainable funds, honest impact data, and onboarding that opened it up from €20.
Digital Health
An Allianz-backed digital health record — letting patients request, store, and share encrypted medical files from their phone. Designed from the ground up.
Ten years of product design, mostly in complicated areas — health records, investing, urban transport. The thread running through it: products people rely on, and increasingly ones built to do some environmental good.
I start with research, because it's cheaper to learn something before you build it than after. Time with real users usually points to the answer; my job is to ask the right questions and keep things simple.
I've been the only designer in a company and one of many in a big cross-functional team, and I'm happy either way. Based in Berlin, open to full-time roles and the occasional freelance project.
User interviews, diary studies, watching people actually use the product. No sketching until there's a clear picture of what's going wrong.
Storyboards and rough wireframes before anything polished. It's easier to change direction while the work still looks unfinished.
Prototypes realistic enough to get honest reactions, then keep iterating until it actually works.
Working closely with engineers through the build. If a design doesn't hold up once it's actually coded, it wasn't done.
Open to full-time roles and the occasional freelance project. Berlin-based, remote-friendly. I'm usually back within a day or two.
