How I Can Help Your Company Succeed
I help companies translate complexity into clarity. I build products and platforms that help users trust the tools they’re using, even in high-stress moments.
I create, I consult, I advise, I educate. My work is part strategy, part design, part obsessive ideating.
My Services
Whether it’s training your teams, brainstorming, ideating, exploring opportunities, designing, building prototypes, or making a specific feature more user-friendly, I can help.
Want to visualize your product vision to pitch to potential investors or customers? Let me bring your vision to life in an interactive prototype. Still exploring options? Let’s set the direction together with a deep understanding for the audience.
Need to increase user adoption of your product or features? I make your tools more approachable and desirable.

Struggling with complex workflows? I refine user flows to improve usability without compromising on flexibility.
Ideating a new feature? Bring me in for the exploration and design to get it right the first time.

Who I Am
I live in Dortmund - an old industrial city in the Ruhrgebiet of Germany.
It’s not flashy. It’s authentic.
It’s full of people who get things done, who say what they mean, and who care more about substance than appearances.
That mindset is engrained into me - no pretence, no fluff, just work that speaks for itself and straight talk.
This is how I approach UX. In Cyber Security, where trust is everything, and clarity isn’t optional - it’s critical.
My Roots
I spent over 10 years in cyber security. Deep in product teams at McAfee, CrowdStrike, Forcepoint, and more.
And I saw it over and over: brilliant minds, powerful tools… but interfaces that slowed users down and frustrated them.
I remember watching an analyst investigating a live incident - flipping through screens, trying to piece things together.
That’s when it clicked.
I wanted to fix this.
My mission is simple: build experiences that make the experts the heroes. Because they are.
