Crafting engaging and beautiful, yet humane and useful digital experiences.
User Experience Designer, Co-Founder of
FrameyRich user experiences are not only about an aesthetic interface and what you can do with it. Rich interactions go beyond making people’s lives easier by sparking joy for the task at hand.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. In an abundant world with endless options, my mission is to cut out the clutter to provide delightful digital experiences.
As a digital creative, I love everything design-related and have a fable for aesthetics regardless of the design discipline. At the core I believe in minimalism in life as well as in design where I follow an approach of having and doing less, but better.
There is so much noise and clutter in the world. In my opinion, design can help a lot to cut the noise and to declutter to be more focused and balanced. It is my objective to make complex coherences accessible and ridiculously easy in order to enable humans to engage in the digital world.
Besides work, I am interested in living a well-balanced, active lifestyle.

Team work and communication are essential in an creative environment, since great ideas come up when everyone brings something to the table. Direct, honest, frequent and open communication enable transparency and help bringing everyone on the same page.
I am always eager to learn from others and share my knowledge. By exchanging experiences and knowledge, a team can grow together and live up to their fullest potential.
With German as my mother tongue and English at a B2+/C1 level, I am not afraid to work in an international context.
With collaborative work via cloud and benefits for creativity, productivity and well-being, I am exclusively working remotely.
After working with Google cloud services for some years, I have confidently integrated these tools into my workflow.
For me it is important to have a central knowledge base to keep everyone on the same page. I’ve had good experiences with Notion.
Performance, simplicity and design have always made me love Apple devices and operating systems for supporting my creativity and productivity.
Prior to concept and design, a deep understanding of users in a specific context as well as involved stakeholders build the foundation. Iterative User Research and concept validation when designing are also an integral part of the process and ensure product success.
A strong concept lies at the core of every functioning digital product. Idea, information architecture, user flows and psychology need to be carefully thought through and tested to ensure that the following high-fidelity interface can be designed effectively.
An appealing UI may not be the core of a digital product, but it is of high importance still. Aestetically pleasing interfaces are more engaging, make the interaction more fun, serves functional purposes and represents a brand by applying corporate design guidelines.
Prototyping user flows is helpful in many stages of product development. In early stages it helps to communicate and validate concepts and before developing and app or website, it helps to finally verify if all needs are met and the result is satisfactory.
Lightweight, collaborative, feature-rich and versatile – Figma is my tool of choice when it comes to daily interface design. Components, variants, auto-lauyouts and plugins enable me to create consistent and scalable designs which are ready for developer-handoff.
For me as a designer, Webflow is ideal to realize websites in a lean process and cost-efficient. With its no-code approach, Webflow is ideal for Landingpages, Microsites and even simple CMS-managed blogs and webshops.
