Alongside client work I research human–AI interaction — what interfaces for AI can look like beyond the chat window.
Intro
Currently I'm working as Lead UX Designer at Star, a global design and innovation consultancy building a better future for the world and businesses through empathy, technology and human-centered design.
As a lecturer in User Experience Design at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Schwäbisch Gmünd, I mentor the next generation of designers, helping them shape the future of digital interaction.
Before that I built digital products at AutoScout24 and innovative interfaces and services at IXDS, now PwC.
Selected projects across AI interfaces, digital products and spatial experiences.
AI / Human-AI Interaction · Design Research · Open Source
78 interactive prototypes for AI interfaces beyond the input field — and a framework that corrected itself while being built.
AI / Human-AI Interaction · Founder · Private Alpha
A chat forgets, a canvas remembers — a collaborative node editor that turns design methods into AI workflows.

A century of animated type behind 300 glowing QR cubes — a study project at the Gutenberg-Museum Mainz whose app I rebuilt fifteen years later.

Text messages drifted across a museum as points of light and became words in one place — an LED façade that ran for more than a decade.

A tangible air traffic control workstation concept that keeps controllers active and connected — developed from field research to a full-scale model.
Communication Strategy · Game Concept · Campaign
A playful way into a difficult decision — a student organ donation campaign concept for younger audiences.
Product Design · Wearable · Award Winner
A memory system that captures moments the way the brain forms them — triggered by emotion. Master’s thesis, first place Zukunftspreis Kommunikation.

Screens for a free induction cooktop and a refrigerator for China — from visual design and animation to the specifications both were built from.
Star · Automotive UX · Case Study
How a cockpit could adapt to different people and moments — from interface system to working prototype.
Creating impactful and intuitive user experiences, as well as seamless and engaging interfaces, by focusing on empathy and understanding the needs and behaviors of users. This ensures that technology is accessible, enjoyable, and efficient for everyone.
Leading and mentoring cross-functional teams at Star, while also shaping the next generation of UX designers as a lecturer in Interface Design and Digital Culture at the University of Applied Sciences in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
Exploring emerging and cutting-edge technologies—currently with a strong focus on AI—to uncover and drive disruptive innovations that serve real human needs, enhance user interactions, and improve business outcomes.
Developing comprehensive strategies that bridge user needs with business goals, ensuring successful product development and a strong market fit.
