Summary
Senior UX/UI Designer and Design Strategist with 20 years of experience in designing, creating and evolving digital products.
My strength lies in understanding complex requirements and turning them into clear product concepts. I bring together business goals, user needs and technical possibilities.
My work ranges from analysis and product conceptualization to interaction design, user testing and implementing UI components in the frontend. I design hands-on and work closely with Product Owners and developers. I also provide professional guidance to small design teams and support designers in their development.
A current focus is the connection between design systems, AI and frontend implementation. I develop reusable components and design tokens and connect designs in Figma with their implementation and documentation in Storybook or Widgetbook. This creates a shared foundation that enables design and development to evolve products consistently.
I use AI to test concepts as working prototypes and speed up the implementation of user interfaces. User guidance, component states and adherence to the design system remain part of my design responsibility. My goal is shorter iterations, fewer coordination gaps and results that the development team can work with directly.
