I believe in creating good design rather than just usable things. My +12 years of experience in the field of design and tech help me to draw connections between business, technology, and design. I help individuals, startups and corporates turn ideas into running and well-designed products. Giving people a very specific picture of a possible future is the most effective way to validate an idea and get valuable insights before investing a lot of money.
