Product Design
Digital product designer based in Salzburg, Austria. I make complex products easier to understand and use. The best interfaces look effortless because someone spent time making them that way.
My background is in structural engineering. I spent several years working on large timber buildings across the world before moving into design. I'd been obsessing over the tools and interfaces around me for long enough, so I decided to stop redesigning them just for fun.
I now design digital products, from early research and user flows through to finished interfaces. I still approach design projects much as I approached structural ones: understand constraints, question assumptions, and find an elegant solution.
Since changing direction, I've consulted on the design of specialist engineering software and shipped I'm Watching You Work, a small fun macOS focus timer. I'm currently working on Another, a habit tracker that makes building routines a little more flexible and forgiving.
