Profession
Product Design
Creating products from A to Z, from research to deployment and further is one of my strengths. Combining the power of UX, UI and coding helps me a lot while solving user problems and focusing on business goals. Modern design approaches always in mind.
User Experience Research
Any design decision should be justified with users in mind. With usage of user centric design, interviews, user flows and many more techniques I achieved product growth and happy customers.
Design Systems
Crafting, defining and maintaining design systems is part of my daily work. Consistency, reusability and scalability are a must for each design system. Figma components and documentations are my biggest friends for managing design systems.
Web Development
With experience in coding frontend applications I got the perfect understanding of the connection between web and designing. Giving developers clear instructions saves time and work.

Past projects
AI document management system
refind.ai
Recently I started working on a new side project. A document management system with a plug-in system to import new documents automatically. Combinated with AI technologies we are analyzing each document and sort it automatically. It's more than another cloud storage because of extended processing solutions like signing, versioning and sharing within communities. As the only designer of this project I was resposible for the whole look of it. Inspired by Untitled design I focused a lot on information layouting.
Work is still in progress.
Late 2023
NFT trading platform
gumball.fi
Gumball hired me to design their v2 of their NFT trading platform. With an all new approach of NFTs also being tokens it was a pretty interesting project.
Alot of features are given per NFT collection like buying, selling, staking, borrowing and swapping which gave me idea of an universal sidebar that covers all that to let users know, all actions happen in one place.
Additionally I had to cover core features like exchanges, creating collections and user management.
Early 2023
Calendar for german working platform
Avaco
Avaco hired me to create a calendar feature for their business service "Workpage". As always I started with researching calendars in general and decided to stick to very classic patterns, that most of the business users are used too. I gave it modern touches and a very well integrated calendar which can display all entity types available on Workpage.
Sadly I don't have access to the platform anymore to show you a live version.
Early 2022
Other projects worth to mention
Landing page of volunteering platform
Bugle
As a freelancer I was hired to design their new landing page, advertising their outstanding features. My focus was on letting users know upfront, what they can expect when using Bugle. Using their existing design system, I built a colorful and inviting landing page with Figma for desktop and mobile devices.
Check out their website with my design by clicking.
Note, that the devs missed some important design instructions. If you're interested in the designs, contact me.
Mid 2023
Dezentralized exchange
SpiritSwap
I got hired first as a freelancer and finally as a fulltime designer at SpiritSwap. As one-man-designer I was responsible for their all new v2 of the platform. Beginning with conceptional work I continued with creating an all new design system to match their unique branding. Being a rather playful crypto product I had to add alot of gimmics next to their serious trading feature.
Being resposible of the whole design was giving me a very step learning curve and boosted my design skills a lot.

As being part of the workflow team, I improved and increased the user journey of the mainflow that users approach daily. At the beginning the user flow wasn’t clear but with tweaking button states, wordings and placement we increased the self service ratio by about 30%. Additionally I was responsible for a new design system and pushing the refactoring. Our design team consists of 4 other designers.

While leading the whole redesign of SpiritSwap I focused on reworking all user flows, unifying and simplifying features, working on consistent interactions for similar patterns. All based on research data of users and public feedback. Due to complexity of this domain I added an onboarding processes for inexperienced users which wasn’t thought of before. I crafted a design system from scratch, with rules to maintain visual consistency. As a solo designer I managed and designed UX, UI, dev communication and marketing material.
