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.

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.

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.
