Summary

As a Product Service Systems Designer, I am experienced in complex service and IT systems. I collaborate with customers to create successful product and software solutions that deliver the best possible experience to their customers. Whether it's spatial incinerations or the development of new marketable products, I consider myself a bridge builder between physical and digital experiences.

Service Designer & Innovator

As a designer, I assist in identifying the needs of all stakeholders. I help derive goals and strategies for products, whether they are physical or digital. I support the creation of a service strategy (UX+process management) to align your company or department with the identified goals. I am equipped with my own set of tools and methods, but I am also open to developing an optimal approach together with you.

Designer UX + Industrial Design

I can provide operational support for the entire design process, including research and analysis, idea generation and creation, production and delivery. Alternatively, I can lead and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams. As a UX/UI designer, I collaborate with you to develop prototypes, test them, and work with programming until realization. For product designs, I develop product concepts, create form studies, small prototypes, and collaborate with engineers on implementation and production strategies.
