About

Design is a
conversation
with the user.

I'm a Berlin-based designer with a background in cognitive science — which means I think about how people process information before I open Figma.

I've partnered with early-stage startups and Fortune 500 teams to ship products that feel inevitable. Good design is invisible.

Let's work together →

Research-led

Every decision starts with real user insight, not assumption.

Systems thinking

I design components that scale, not one-off screens.

Dev-fluent

I speak engineer — handoff is frictionless and precise.

Motion craft

Thoughtful animation that communicates, not decorates.

Get in touch

Let's build something
worth using.

Available for select projects from Q2 2025. I work best with teams that care deeply about the people using their product.
