About

Product Designer for

Complex Digital Systems

I design enterprise interfaces that translate technical complexity into clear, usable products. My work focuses on system logic, interaction architecture, and high-fidelity prototypes that support real product decisions.

LOCATION

Germany · Open to relocate (US Citizen)

focus

Enterprise UX · System Interaction Design · Prototyping · Interface Architecture

CURRENT

M.A. Strategic Design (in progress)

PHILOSOPHY

Designing Systems, Not Screens

I work at the intersection of user experience, technical systems, and strategic thinking. My approach is rooted in structuring complexity. I focus on reducing cognitive friction, clarifying state-based behavior, and designing interfaces that make technical systems understandable.

I see design as a systems discipline. Every interface exists within constraints, dependencies, and real-world impact. My role is to translate those dynamics into usable structures.

EXPERIENCE

Automotive System UX · Mercedes-Benz

Within cross-functional automotive teams, I contributed to system-level UI concepts for in-car interfaces. My work focused on interaction flows, information hierarchy, and state modeling for safety-relevant systems.

I created high-fidelity prototypes in Figma and ProtoPie to support alignment across design, product, and engineering, enabling decision-ready validation of complex interface behavior.

Industrial B2B Products · Paul Bauder

In an industrial B2B environment, I work on research, ideation, and prototyping for digital product initiatives. I translate technical requirements into structured UX concepts and interactive prototypes that support strategic product decisions.

The focus lies in clarity under complexity and decision support within constraint-driven systems.

education
