Über mich

I turn ideas into clear, production-ready applications. I combine 15 years of enterprise UX with AI product strategy, multi-agent orchestration, and technical implementation to create secure, commercially viable solutions for real users.

Skills

User Experience (UX)Ui-DesignInteraction DesignProduktdesign
Complex products rarely fail because teams lack ideas.

They become difficult when complexity grows faster than clarity.

Too many workflows. Too many stakeholders. Legacy systems. Technical constraints. Regulatory requirements. And now AI adds another layer.
That's where I can help.

For more than 15 years, I've been designing digital products for complex and data-intensive environments, from mobility and banking to industrial software.
Today, I combine that Enterprise UX experience with hands-on AI product development. I don't just design products. I also build and launch them.

→ COMPLEX PRODUCT UX
Your platform/product has grown over the years. Workflows have become difficult to understand. New features add more complexity instead of solving it.
I help turn complex processes, domain logic and requirements into products people can actually use.

→ AI PRODUCTS & FEATURES
You know AI could create value, but turning technical capabilities into a useful product is another challenge.
I help shape AI-native workflows and translate technical capabilities into product experiences people can understand and trust.

→ FROM IDEA TO WORKING PRODUCT
Sometimes you don't need another concept or presentation. You need something people can actually use and evaluate.
I can take an idea from product thinking and UX through prototyping and, where it makes sense, into a working MVP or production product.

I've worked on complex digital products for companies including Deutsche Bahn, DKB, Porsche, BMW and industrial technology companies.
At Deutsche Bahn, for example, I worked as UX Lead on software used by 30,000+ train staff.

Today, I also build my own products:
Elyvite, an AI research ecosystem for health professionals.
makerOS / Pier, an AI-native environment for structured software development.
GrappleKit, a native mobile app for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes.

Building products myself has fundamentally changed how I design.
A design decision is no longer just a screen. It means logic, states, implementation, testing, security and maintenance.

That perspective helps me bridge a gap that still exists in many teams:
Product ↔ UX ↔ AI ↔ Engineering

I work best with teams building products where complexity is part of the problem and where someone needs to understand the big picture without losing sight of the details.

Projekthistorie

makerOS – AI Product Designer & AI Engineer

Flowprimo

Internet und Informationstechnologie

< 10 Mitarbeiter

Building the way AI software should be built.

The challenge
AI coding tools are powerful, but without planning and shared context they quickly create technical debt and inconsistent software.

The solution
We built makerOS, an AI-native development environment that combines visual planning, structured project memory and specialized AI agents into a single workflow. I co-created the product, led the UX and product design, and was deeply involved in building the platform itself.

The outcome
Today makerOS is the platform I use to design and build every client project and every product we ship.




Elyvite – Founder, AI Product Designer & AI Engineer

Flowprimo

Pharma und Medizintechnik

< 10 Mitarbeiter

Making health research accessible through AI.

The challenge
Health professionals spend countless hours navigating conflicting opinions, fragmented research and thousands of expert videos before they can answer complex questions with confidence.

The solution
I founded and built Elyvite, a Health Intelligence Workspace that brings together expert knowledge, current scientific studies and web sources. Instead of generating a single answer, the platform makes consensus and disagreement visible and provides traceable sources for individual claims. I designed the product from the ground up and built the AI workflows for Consensus and Deep Research, the multi-model orchestration, the research and knowledge architecture, the automated content pipelines and the SaaS infrastructure including authentication and billing, with AI transparency and EU AI Act requirements built in.

The outcome
Elyvite is a live commercial SaaS platform available to health professionals internationally in six languages, with subscription billing and the complete product running in production.

GrappleKit – AI Product Designer & iOS Developer

Flowprimo

Internet und Informationstechnologie

< 10 Mitarbeiter

From idea to a live product in three months.

The challenge
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes have access to tens of thousands of training videos, but no structured way to find the right technique, track their progress or connect training with a coach.

The solution
I designed, built and launched GrappleKit as a native iOS app and took responsibility for the entire product: concept, UX/UI, iOS development, Supabase backend, AI-powered search and content pipeline, App Store setup and production operations. AI agents process the transcripts of 40,000+ videos from 44 curated channels into structured, searchable content.

The outcome
A live app with video library, training journal, technique tracking, channel discovery and a coach dashboard for academies. Building the product end to end changed how I approach product decisions: every additional option in the interface also means logic, states, tests and maintenance.

Vision 2030 Playbook – Senior UX/UI Designer & Consultant

DKB | Deutsche Kreditbank AG

Banken und Finanzdienstleistungen

1000-5000 Mitarbeiter

What should business banking look like in 2030?

The challenge
DKB wanted a shared, tangible vision for its private and business banking that goes beyond individual features and existing interfaces, shaped by changing customer needs, emerging technologies and evolving expectations.

The solution
As part of a multidisciplinary team I explored future customer needs and scenarios, developed user journeys and interaction concepts and translated strategic ideas into concrete UX/UI concepts and prototypes, with a focus on business banking, financing and AI-supported collaboration.

The outcome
A Vision 2030 Playbook that makes possible directions for the future of banking easier to explore, discuss and develop further, and that shaped the overall design direction.

Bagless Spaces – Senior UX/UI Designer & Design System

APTIS GmbH & Co. KG

Internet und Informationstechnologie

10-50 Mitarbeiter

Virtual spaces for real places.

The challenge
Bagless is a platform for 360° tours and video calls in virtual rooms, used by retailers, museums, tourism providers and real estate marketers to guide visitors through real locations remotely. The product needed one coherent experience across creating a space, the visitor journey and live video features.

The solution
Over 15 months I was responsible for UX and UI from concept to implementation and built a design system that keeps the space editor, the visitor experience and the video call features in one consistent visual and interaction language.

The outcome
A scalable design foundation and a clearer, more consistent product across web and embedded use cases.

Senior UX Lead & Product Design Partner – mHub MES / IIoT Platform

Nuveon

Industrie und Maschinenbau

10-50 Mitarbeiter

Designing an enterprise software ecosystem for modern manufacturing.

The challenge
Nuveon develops highly specialized MES and IIoT software for manufacturing companies. Beyond the core platform, every customer had unique production processes, workflows and operational requirements that couldn’t be solved with off-the-shelf software.

The solution
Over nearly a decade, I worked as Nuveon’s Lead UX Designer, shaping the user experience across almost the entire product portfolio. Alongside the standard platform, I collaborated directly with customers to understand their business processes and designed tailored software solutions for their specific operational needs.
My work ranged from product strategy and workshop facilitation to user research, interaction design, design systems and high-fidelity prototypes. I worked closely with founders, developers and end users to transform complex industrial processes into intuitive enterprise applications.

The outcome
Over the years I helped shape the UX of Nuveon’s software ecosystem, from core MES products to customer-specific solutions used in production, quality management, maintenance, logistics and analytics. The result was a consistent user experience across a growing portfolio of enterprise applications serving manufacturers across Europe.


Senior UX Designer – Web App and Landing Page Concept

Consors Finanz BNP Paribas

Banken und Finanzdienstleistungen

1000-5000 Mitarbeiter

The challenge
A new web application and landing page needed a clear concept that works for consumer finance customers and holds up in a regulated banking environment.

The solution
I developed the UX concept for the web app and the landing page, from user flows and information architecture to UI design, supported by market research and close alignment with product and marketing.

The outcome
A validated concept ready for implementation.

DB Communicator – Lead UX Designer

Deutsche Bahn

Transport und Logistik

>10.000 Mitarbeiter

Designing software used by more than 30,000 railway employees every day.

The challenge
Train crews rely on accurate operational information under real-time conditions. The existing workflows were complex, time-critical and used by thousands of employees every day.

The solution
As Lead UX Designer, I redesigned core workflows, improved usability and helped establish a scalable design system while working closely with product owners, developers and users throughout the project.

The outcome
The DB Communicator received the iF Design Award 2026 and is now one of Deutsche Bahn’s central digital workplace applications, used daily by more than 30,000 onboard employees.

UX Lead – Disruption Notifications

Deutsche Bahn

Transport und Logistik

>10.000 Mitarbeiter

How do you make complex disruption information understandable when passengers need it most?

The challenge
Disruption notifications carried complex operational information that was hard to grasp at a glance. The task was not a visual redesign but deciding which information matters, how it is structured and prioritized and how different disruption scenarios can be communicated consistently without overwhelming passengers.

The solution
As UX Lead I developed the new UX concept and interaction design, explored approaches through rapid prototyping, worked closely with subject matter experts and stakeholders on operational requirements and iterated the solution with UX researchers through continuous user testing.

The outcome
A clearer, more actionable way of communicating disruptions to passengers, refined over several focused design and research cycles.

Senior UX/UI Designer – Time Tracking and Reporting for Production

leancodes GmbH

Internet und Informationstechnologie

< 10 Mitarbeiter

The challenge
Production software has to turn operational data into information people can understand and act on.

The solution
I designed the UX and UI for a time tracking and reporting application in a production environment: information architecture, user flows, data-heavy interfaces and reporting views, with the key workflows prototyped and validated.

The outcome
An efficient, clear tool for everyday work in a production context and another specialized B2B application where complex processes became simple, actionable tools.

Senior UX Designer – Design System Development

Deutsche Bahn

Transport und Logistik

>10.000 Mitarbeiter

The challenge
Consistency across a large and growing ecosystem of digital products requires more than designing individual interfaces.

The solution
Together with the Deutsche Bahn design team I developed UX and UI standards for recurring interaction patterns, defined reusable patterns and guidelines across different digital products and translated brand principles into practical digital design rules that product and design teams can apply consistently.

The outcome
A more systematic approach to digital product design, fewer inconsistencies between products and a shared foundation for designing new experiences.

UX Design Lead – Mobile, Web and Terminal Products

ODDSET Sportwetten GmbH

Sonstiges

50-250 Mitarbeiter

The challenge
ODDSET needed consistent UX support across its mobile, web and betting terminal products without having a full-time designer on the team.

The solution
As Lead UX Designer I supported the product teams across all platforms in a part-time partnership, improving flows, interaction design and UI until a full-time designer was hired.

The outcome
A more consistent and intuitive experience across mobile, web and terminal.

UX Design Lead – DB Information Platform

Deutsche Bahn

Transport und Logistik

>10.000 Mitarbeiter

Modernizing a legacy platform means knowing what to change and what to preserve.

The challenge
Deutsche Bahn’s central information platform for real-time rail data had aged. It had to become a modern, usable product without losing the workflows, functions and expectations users relied on every day.

The solution
I led the UX redesign from analysis through implementation: identified usability issues and opportunities, simplified and restructured established workflows, developed concepts and prototypes and validated them through extensive user testing, in close collaboration with project management and engineering.

The outcome
A modernized platform that kept the capabilities users depended on while significantly improving clarity, usability and the overall experience.

Senior UX Designer – Redesign of an iOS App

Social Steps

UX Design Lead – Major Disruption Assistant

Deutsche Bahn

Transport und Logistik

>10.000 Mitarbeiter

The challenge
The traveller information team had a vision for an assistant that supports staff during major disruptions, but no tangible product to evaluate it with.

The solution
As UX Design Lead I helped the team turn the vision into a prototype and validated it in tests with real users.

The outcome
A validated concept and a clear direction for the next steps.
