My motivation is to turn ideas into outstanding services and products. As a hands-on UX-designer, information architect, and creative with over 15 years of professional experience, I can be either a source of ideas or an aggregator in the intensive cooperation between all product development disciplines. My excellent sense of conception and design drives me to always search for the best solution. I am empathic but also able to work on an abstract level. I think user-centered and have a high understanding of quality. I find convincing solutions and I am a leading creative force to deliver real added value for clients with my work.
