After completing my studies at the Institute of Marketing and Communication in Berlin, I started as a UI/UX design freelancer in 2017. Partnering with companies such as EDEKA,Weber Grill, Trolli, McDonald's, and Deutsche Bahn, I created high-quality digital experiences that balanced functionality and visual appeal. This early work laid the foundation for my passion for design engineering...

Over the years, I've honed my skills as a designer and software engineer, with a particular focus on the intersection of these disciplines. My journey has led me to dive deeper into Blockchain technology where I co-founded DEORA in 2019. We built a decentralized platform to organize communities. Our biggest client was the pan-European political party Volt Europa. I had the exciting challenge of making crypto interactions easy and accessible for everyone.

Then I co-founded mintgate.io, a platform that empowered creators to gate exclusive content behind NFTs. One of my primary contributions was the design and development of a robust design system, ensuring consistency, scalability, and ease of customization across the platform. Additionally, I led the creation of a whitelabeled NFT s torefront solution, enabling clients to seamlessly customize their storefronts to align with their branding.

Following my work at Mintgate, I ventured into education by working on an AI-powered tutoring app for web and iOS. This project allowed me to apply my skills in human-computer interaction and conversational AI design, creating an intuitive learning experience powered by generative AI. I focused on optimizing user flows, ensuring responsiveness across platforms, and aligning the app's interface with pedagogical goals.

In my latest jobs, I focused on designing and building conversational Voice AI experiences at Jupus and then Telli (YC FW24). These experiences blend voice interfaces with rich conversational design, enabling users to interact naturally with AI systems. My work emphasizes both usability and functionality, requiring me to delve into voice user interface design principles and engineer solutions that feel intuitive and human-like.

Today I mainly work on AgentKit a framework for building AI Interactions in Swift as well as AskAiden a personal ambient aware AI Agent living on your Mac. Across all my roles, I've continuously refined my expertise in design engineering—combining my skills in front-end development, design systems, and interactive experiences. I take pride in creating solutions that are not only functional and accessible but also elegant and engaging. I'm always eager to connect with others who share a similar vision or explore opportunities to collaborate on forward-thinking projects. Don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to chat!
