I co-founded UX Freiburg, the official German UPA regional group for Freiburg, to strengthen the local UX, Product and Tech community. We organize regular meetups, create opportunities for knowledge sharing, and connect designers, researchers, product managers and engineers across companies and industries.

Today, the community reaches 600+ professionals, hosts regular events, and brings together members from companies such as Haufe, Lexware, JobRad, SICK and many others.

Designing complex financial products at scale

Over the past years, I've worked with fintech companies to simplify complex software for wealth and asset management.

My focus has been on bringing Product, Engineering, and Design together, from establishing UX in engineering-driven organizations to leading design across acquired products and building scalable foundations for consistent product experiences.

From high-volume to high-value e-commerce

I've worked across two very different sides of e-commerce: large-scale ticketing at Reservix and the global luxury marketplace Chrono24.

My work spans consumer and enterprise products, web and mobile, and multiple product teams, from platforms powering thousands of white-label ticket shops to premium experiences for high-value customers.
