Founding Product Designer Berlin, Germany

Background

As a dedicated product designer, I specialize in crafting and managing products under constrained resources and high-risk scenarios.

My expertise lies in collaborating with early-stage startups to transform MVPs or raw concepts into polished, high-quality products.

By integrating user research, effective communication, and empathy, I deliver solutions that excel in both functionality and aesthetics.

Since 2006, I've contributed to projects across various industries, including conversational UI, sales, customer experience, data analytics, advertising, and fintech.

Over the past seven years, my focus has been on natural language processing and generation startups.
