Design meets Data
Services
-
Interaction, Interface and Information Design
With the human in mind, I ask for project goals, do research, ask people, do workshops, create concepts, visualize and test ideas, design wireframes and visuals, produce prototypes to get feedback and to iterate to come up with products, experience or systems for my clients.
I'm interested in designing systems for real people rather than power points or shiny pitch decks for tomorrow.
-
Data visualization
With data in hands, I ask for project goals, lead workshops, do research, explore data to find trends, patterns and relationships, design visual languages, develope information architectures, design wireframes, create prototypes, design layouts, tell stories and produce full working experience as well as products for my clients.
I'm interested in exploring new ways to visualize data to empower people to make thoughtful actions rather than designing generic dashboards and decorating numbers.

Work experience
I'm a freelance designer focused on creating meaningful applications and experiences driven by data visualization with a strong background in design and web development.
After starting my career as a bank clerk, I worked more than ten years as a web developer and designer. In last two years, I was working as a Senior Interaction Designer at MING Labs. Before that, I had the chance to design interactive data visualizations at ZEIT ONLINE and I gained knowledge through several internships at SQUARE in New York City and San Francisco, Interactive Things in Zurich and Strukt in Vienna.
I had and have the pleasure to work with great clients from small energetic startups to well-established enterprises and institutes during my freelance and agency time. I just want to mention Adidas, Bertelsmann Stiftung, brand eins, Deutsche Bahn, Google News Lab, Universal Music and Vodafone. Furthermore I partner up fine individuals like Moritz Stefaner of Truth and Beauty and support agencies like MING Labs in Berlin or Perception in New York.Get more information at LinkedIn or Xing or better in a personal conversation.
