04 · How I work
Turning ambiguity and complexity into clear product experiences
I enjoy solving challenging product problems by combining user-centred design with strategic thinking, systems thinking, and close collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
What I enjoy most about Product Design is finding the right balance between user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints. I believe the best products are built through strong collaboration, continuous learning, and a shared commitment to solving real problems.
05 · Technical perspective
Balancing design and technical constraints
What I enjoy most about Product Design is finding the right balance between user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints.
I believe I would bring a combination of strategic product thinking, strong UX expertise, visual design skills, and a collaborative mindset to your team. Just as importantly, I genuinely enjoy working with people and believe that the best products are created when designers, engineers, and product managers work closely together.
06 · What motivates me
Products that create lasting value for people and the planet
I'm particularly motivated by purpose-driven products that improve people's lives and advance sustainability, renewable energy, the circular economy, digital health, mobility, and other technologies with a positive long-term impact.
After investing the past two years in intensive German language studies in Austria, I'm now looking for my next opportunity as a Senior Product Designer or UX/UI Designer.
I prefer remote-first or hybrid roles with occasional in-person collaboration and am open to opportunities in Vienna, the Eisenstadt area, or fully remote within the EU.
