“Things are only impossible until they’re not”

– Jean-Luc Picard

I am a digital designer and user advocate with over 20 years of experience based in Berlin. I know when to lead, manage and follow. I bring a positive attitude, emotional intelligence and the ability to motivate others.

I am most comfortable working in diverse and multicultural teams, but you can also count on me if I’m on my own.

I had the honour of working closely with Werner on a complex design system project, and I can confidently say that he is an amazing UI/UX designer. Werner’s long years of experience and deep understanding of design principles make him the right match for every design project.

His attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the project was thoughtfully considered and executed to the highest standards.

One of Werners (many admirable) qualities, is his his ability to remain calm and composed, even in times of tight deadlines and when facing high complexity. He took time to really think through details and building things correct while never compromising on quality work.

Werner’s collaborative spirit and positive attitude made him an absolute joy to work with.

I highly recommend Werner for any UI/UX design role. His expertise, professionalism, and ability to deliver under pressure as well as leading people and projects make him a valuable asset to any team.
