My philosophy is creating designs that are practical yet unique and always with the aim to showcase my clients’ products and services in the best light. I'm a passionate Product and UX Designer with more than 15 years’ experience delivering world-class web and mobile applications within an agile environment. My clients come from various industries including digital agencies, fin- and health-tech, and luxury beauty retail and I am known for executing awesome designs.
My view is that visionary UX strategies have to be combined with a significant focus on execution to drive innovation and creativity into tangible results. For an industry supposedly dedicated to clarity, simplicity, usefulness and communication, we spend too much time trying to complicate what we do. That’s why my clients prefer working with me because I don’t waste time trying to sound elaborate and spend more time actually doing the work.
My favorite clients are those who think outside of the box and want to stick out from the competition - whether they are in the start-up or corporate world. Having the courage to be different and the desire to amplify your organization’s unique selling proposition through design is a great foundation and I can help you to turn exceptional Customer and User Experience into reality. The key is to deliver innovative UX projects and ultimately create products and services that your customers find value adding and that make their lives easier.
My career path is nontraditional and unconventional to say the least: I started as a banker in Germany but that wasn’t my calling. I have always been drawn to design and creation since I was a little boy building odd looking structures. But hey, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. I could no longer deny that I needed to pivot in my career and so I took the leap and went back to school, becoming the first Media Systems graduate from the Hamburg School of Applied Science with a 4.0 GPA and a book publication on “3D Animation with Motion Capturing”.
Having always felt that the traditional industries like banking needed a refresh to be fit for purpose for the next generation customers, I’m also striving for innovative design that is executable. Walking the talk, instead of just throwing around buzzwords is something I am known for in the industry.
Realizing the huge potential in Asia coupled with my personal desire to rediscover my Asian heritage, I moved to Hong Kong in 2010 and explored the entrepreneurial and start-up industry. After 6 years of successful design implementations in the capacity of design agencies, I joined a luxury beauty retailer as an in-house Lead of UX and have the reputation for being a connected business partner to create effective cutting edge digital solutions to attract the next generation luxury retail clients.
