UX Strategist & AI App Developer (AI-assisted App Strategy) at Own Projects (Nutrycoach.ai, LuxuryBandit)
Conceptualizing and developing AI-powered app MVPs from the first idea to a working product. I combine UX strategy with modern AI and no-code tools — especially Claude and Claude Code, where I work directly in the terminal on real code (React, Vite), complemented by Figma, Bolt.new, and Base44 — to quickly validate and build product ideas. Personal platforms: Nutrycoach.ai (AI nutrition coaching with role-based dashboards for clients, coaches, and admins, AI meal analysis, and a scalable design system) and LuxuryBandit (content/creator app). This led to my own practice 'AI-assisted App Strategy', which combines human creativity, UX logic, and intelligent automation.

About the technology
What UX design covers
UX Design focuses on how people move through a product, understand it, and finish tasks without friction. It covers discovery, user flows, wireframes, prototypes, content structure, and usability testing for websites, apps, and internal tools.
Typical deliverables
- User research plans and interview guides
- Journey maps, task flows, and information architecture
- Wireframes and interactive prototypes in Figma or similar tools
- Usability findings with clear design changes
When companies bring in help
Teams hire freelance UX Design specialists when a product needs a reset, a new feature is hard to use, or a release is blocked by unclear flows. In Berlin, this often comes up in SaaS, e-commerce, fintech, and startup teams that need strong product thinking without long hiring cycles.
Strong specialist skills
Good professionals in UX Design connect user needs with business goals and engineering limits. They ask sharp questions, simplify complex journeys, and defend decisions with evidence instead of taste.
Tools and ecosystem
UX Design work often sits around Figma, FigJam, Miro, and testing tools such as Maze or UserTesting. The best specialists also understand design systems, accessibility, analytics, and how their work moves into UI design and product delivery.
What to look for
Look for clear case studies, not just attractive screens. Strong UX Design experts can explain the problem, the options they explored, and the evidence behind the final choice. They should be able to work remotely or on-site in Berlin, depending on workshop needs and team setup.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about UX Design, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
A strong UX Design freelancer helps turn a product idea into clear user journeys, wireframes, and prototypes. They also test flows, spot friction, and refine the structure before the team invests in full build work. The goal is a product that is easier to understand and easier to use.
No. UX Design focuses on the full experience: research, structure, flows, and usability. UI Design focuses more on the visual interface, such as layout, components, and styling. Many projects need both, but the work and outcomes are different.
Bring in UX Design support when users drop off, teams disagree on the right flow, or a new product area feels too complex. It is also useful before a redesign, during discovery, or when a product team needs help turning insights into a clearer structure. That early work usually saves time later.
A good UX Design portfolio explains the problem, the process, and the result in plain language. Look for evidence of research, trade-offs, wireframes, prototypes, and measurable user impact rather than only polished screens. Strong case studies show judgment, not decoration.
Most UX Design work happens in Figma, FigJam, Miro, and testing tools. Many specialists also use analytics tools, whiteboarding apps, and design-system documentation. Tool choice matters less than how well the expert uses them to make decisions.
Simple flow improvements may only need one strong UX Design specialist. Larger redesigns, multi-step research, or product strategy work benefit from someone who has handled complex systems and cross-functional teams. The right choice depends on the scope, not the job title.
Yes. UX Design can be done fully remote when the team can share context, review prototypes, and give feedback online. On-site time in Berlin helps more when workshops, stakeholder alignment, or user sessions need close collaboration.
Useful adjacent skills for UX Design include user research, content design, accessibility, service design, and basic product strategy. Knowledge of handoff to engineering and familiarity with design systems also help. These skills make the work easier to apply in real product teams.
