Über mich

I am a passionate leader proficient in designing high quality product experiences. I focus on lean methodologies for implementing customer-centric design processes. I am currently leading the design for Volkswagen e-commerce platforms. In recent years I have been responsible for design activities and teams at the mobility leaders Sixt and DriveNow. Before that I shaped digital communication campaigns, corporate websites and mobile applications for Siemens, Allianz, MAN, ProSieben, Disney and more. When I'm not busy leading international teams, I'm probably reading about human psychology, training for my annual Tegernsee Half Marathon, or honing my pizza-making skills.
