About

I'm a frontend developer, user interface designer and general human-computer interaction enthusiast currently living in Tokyo. My career started in the digital media industry as motion graphics artist but soon shifted towards interactive media, which allowed me to integrate my long-lived passion for software engineering as well. As a generalist, I feel equally comfortable in the conceptualization as well as implementation of web-based user interfaces.

I like to work in creative, vision-driven environments, ideally start ups with fast iteration cycles and small but determined teams. My versatile frontend profile allows me to wear different hats in between design and engineering based on current demand and business priorities. I'm an Interface Design alumnus of Potsdam University of Applied Sciences, product frontend developer and UX designer at the Tokyo based startup Chemican, as well as freelance problem solver. I have worked for renowned brands such as Audi, Pfizer, Breuninger or Viessmann.
