Industrial designer & design technologist · Graz, Austria

Rather than read about me, ask.

I design where hardware and interface meet, so the seam between them disappears.

The problems I like are the ones that are hard to put into words and obvious the second they’re in your hand.

Industrial design is where I started, so I treat an interface like an object: it should have weight, edges, and a right way to be held. I’ve followed that instinct through an autonomous-vehicle cockpit at Mercedes-Benz, a tugboat’s controls, and the digital products I build now in Graz.

The thesis at Mercedes-Benz Design turned into six more months in the Sindelfingen studio, and most of that time went into a tool rather than a concept: a modular prototyping system where components plug into an ESP32 over I²C and get switched on from a web interface the board serves itself. The point was speed. A new interaction idea should be standing up and testable the same afternoon somebody has it.

Now

In Graz since July 2025, designing production software at LearningSuite: the learning platform and its sales-side sister product, SalesSuite. After years of concepts and prototypes, this is where I learn how an idea survives contact with production. I design in Figma, hand over to the developers with a brief, and QA what comes back. Real interfaces, real constraints, and a deadline that doesn’t move because the concept got more interesting.

It’s also where I’ve deepened the part of the craft my industrial-design background touched least, UI itself: hierarchy, states, the quiet consistency of a product people use every day.

On top of the UX/UI work, the two company websites are mine end to end. Every new page starts with me: I design it, brief graphic design on the visuals it needs, build it in Webflow (a tool I hadn’t opened until May 2026, the way Figma was new when I arrived), and sign-off comes from the company owners directly. Four feature pages on the SalesSuite side so far, a set of unlisted pages doing quieter work for lead generation, and most recently LearningSuite’s Intelligence page, the most developed thing I’ve made there.
