About

I’m a Berlin local 🐻 and pretty much always on the move. As a Senior UX/UI Designer and Design System Lead with over 9 years of experience, I live by one rule: I’d much rather question the "why" one too many times than blindly push pixels. My approach is structured, adaptable, and always curious enough to never just settle for the first draft.

What sets me apart as the proverbial "last unicorn" 🦄 is my advanced coding background. I speak both design and engineering fluently, ensuring that solutions don’t just look good in Figma but truly perform in the final product. In the current era of AI development, this technical foundation allows me to integrate new tools directly into scalable design systems—from component libraries to token structures—helping teams move faster without reinventing the wheel.

When I finally surface from Figma, you’ll usually find me cycling through the city on my road bike, getting lost in Elden Ring, or dominating at Mario Kart—where I’m practically unbeatable. And in the home office, I’m rarely alone—as a part-time cat dad 🐱, I often have a very confident meeting guest by my side, even if my allergies protest every single time.
