About me

I’m a Design Director with a background in UI/UX and a strong focus on technology, systems thinking, and process automation. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked with cross-functional teams to improve how digital products and content are designed, built, and scaled - from early-stage prototypes to production-ready systems.

My work spans eCommerce, B2B tools, and platforms for global brands like NIVEA, Alcon and others. I focus on solving real operational problems - reducing complexity, aligning teams, and delivering solutions that are not just well-designed, but efficient and maintainable.

Whether it’s running product workshops, setting up reusable design templates, or introducing automation into design workflows, I care about making design useful, consistent, and connected to the bigger picture.
