About me

I wanted to be a cartoonist. Instead, I moved from northern Germany to Berlin to study graphic design — and fell in love with web and brand design. That led me from UI design at Rocket Internet through the Berlin startup scene to becoming a Design System specialist.

At ImmoScout24, I convinced management to invest in a design system when the concept was still young in Germany. It became a major success, powered their complete redesign, and I grew into Lead UX Designer and Design Ops lead. At Viessmann, I scaled that into a multi-brand, token-driven ecosystem serving web, mobile, and HMI.

Now I'm pushing into AI-augmented design. Using Claude Code for vibecoding component libraries, Figma MCP for AI-driven design workflows, and building design systems faster than I ever thought possible. The craft stays — the speed multiplies.

I live in the south of Brandenburg with my wife, three kids, and a lot of animals. When I close my MacBook, I go barefoot into my garden instead of squeezing into the S-Bahn. I share insights on X and Substack .
