Product Designer

About

I've been designing websites and apps for years, working with startups and small teams to deliver holistic, impactful solutions. With a background in Computer Science, product design has become a fast and flexible part of my work — allowing for efficient projects that contribute to increased visibility and better user experiences. Further I'm driven by a broad interest in creative fields like architecture, photography, branding, and digital products.

So if you're looking for a product designer for fast, high-quality, and distinctive experiences, drop me a mail or reach out via my socials.

I collect a few sets a year — usually architecture or technic. The Eiffel Tower is currently in pieces on the dining table.
