About Me
I’m a Front-End Web Developer and Designer from Hamburg, Germany. I love design and art, reading books, listening to podcasts, creating Sketchnotes, taking photos, and writing Haiku.
What I Do
I create beautiful, user-centric layouts for devices of all sizes on the web for nearly two decades and love bringing simplicity and minimalism to everything I create.
I deeply care about good user experience: Writing good text, choosing the right photography, typography, and colors. Programming fast, reusable, well-tested, and easy-to-maintain code or creating engaging animations.
I am currently working at NEW WORK SE on the Design System of XING, the biggest business network in Europe.
I love innovating: During multiple Hackweeks I was part of a small team creating a completely new job platform for freelancers. I am also a three-time winner of the Prototyping Days, a yearly two-day company-wide prototyping event.
Journal
I am writing essays about topics including programming, design, self-improvement, philosophy, productivity, books, and films in this Journal.
