Swapping digital frustration for "Wow, that was easy!"
Based in Bremen, Germany — currently focused on bringing AI design strategy into the room for companies figuring out what AI should actually do for their product.
My Story
Fifteen years designing digital products. One rule hasn't changed: it has to work, not just look good. UI/UX, project management, marketing — every step taught me the same thing: see the whole picture. A pretty screen that doesn't move real people and real businesses forward is worthless.
Today I'm all in on AI — I use it across every part of my process, because it's the biggest leap this craft has ever had. I want to be building at the front of it, not watching from the sidelines.

Take these with you
Outside of Work
Whether it's lines of digital design or a weekend physical project, I just get a lot of joy out of making things functional, warm, and well-crafted.
Ice Hockey
Years on the ice earned me the title "Master of Sports of Russia." It's where the focus and teamwork came from — and where I learned to stay level-headed through a rough patch instead of letting it throw off the whole game.
Hands-On Craft
When I shut my laptop, I like to slow down and work with my hands — a DIY project around the house, fixing up old furniture, or sketching out some cozy architectural ideas.
Travel
I love exploring new places whenever I get the chance, just for the fresh inspiration.
