I think in systems.
I design in journeys.

What drives me: the parts of a product nobody sees on screen, but everyone feels. Currently exploring where Product, UX and AI meet.

I'm a Product UX/UI Designer based in Cologne with a Master's degree in Product Design & Process Development (M.Sc.) and hands-on experience in fast-paced digital agency settings.

My expertise spans the end-to-end process: from product discovery and UX research, through UI design and prototyping, to testing and KPIs. Whether I'm mapping a service blueprint or crafting a design system, I focus on creating journeys, not single touchpoints.
