About

I am a problem solver and user advocate. I come up with ideas for new services, products and processes. I work in multidisciplinary teams. I focus on the problem. I don‘t design for contests or showcases but for real people with real needs. I like to think that good design will always be more than the combination of aesthetics and functionality. It enhances people‘s lives and creates a better world.
