I design the part of products that users depend on most.
The part they only notice when it breaks.

About me

Most problems that look like interface problems aren't. The friction usually sits in the logic, the data model or the flow underneath, and that is where I spend my time. When the system underneath is right, the interface gets simple.

My background

5 years across e-commerce, e-mobility and hospitality tech. Currently at Ruby GmbH leading product design and EU accessibility compliance.

what i care about

Accessibility

I found the EU Accessibility Act gap at Ruby, raised it, and became Product Owner for WCAG compliance across all our digital products. It's now part of how we scope and review every release.

AI in practice

I use AI across the whole process, from early prototypes that get ideas in front of users sooner to design tools wired into live systems. It lets me work at a higher resolution earlier, on the decisions that matter.

Teaching & Mentorship

I tutor the next generation of product designers at CareerFoundry and support real student projects at ReDI School Munich, a programme sponsored by the City of Munich.
