Product UX Designer · Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Hybrid Product UX Designer with a developer background, specialised in complex digital B2B and industrial systems.

I work at the intersection of UX design, software development, and product strategy — translating complex processes into understandable, usable interfaces.

Selected Work

Case studies in B2B, industrial and AI product design.

Three projects, each built around a real problem and the decisions behind it — from research to delivery.

Production Control Software

Primary case study — UX for complex manufacturing processes in the automotive environment: user journeys, interface structuring, and design-system consistency.

About Me

Product design that bridges technical reality and user needs.

I connect what users need, what the product must achieve, and what's technically feasible — backed by an engineering background that helps me think through both.

I currently design UX for production control software in the automotive environment: user journeys in complex manufacturing processes, interface structuring, and design-system consistency.

Working approach

I combine analytical product thinking with technical feasibility and user-centred research.

Core competencies
  • UX research & field studies in real usage contexts (industry / MES)
  • Interaction design & prototyping (Figma)
  • Design systems (MBUI, Storybook) in close collaboration with development
  • Frontend & engineering understanding (Java, Android, HTML/CSS)
  • AI-assisted design workflows for efficiency and concept support

Background: Trained software developer (Fachinformatik, application development) with several years of hands-on engineering experience before moving into product design — resulting in design that holds up at the handoff to development.
