Seasoned, Berlin-based design consultant with experience in research, interaction design, service design, and advising organizations.

Past and present

As for the future, we can only speculate about it.
Since 1992, I’ve been fortunate to be involved in a variety of projects — from designing MS-DOS based software to ATMs, enterprise systems, educational programs, hiring processes and entire organizations.
While I still like to get my hands dirty, my work is focused on research, strategy, addressing organizational challenges and helping other designers (and non-designers too) do the work.

Key skills

I'm also raising three kids and I still haven't gone completely nuts. I consider this to be the key-est of all key skills though you are welcome to disagree.

Organizations I worked with and for

I am grateful that I had the chance to work with some big companies and government agencies, but as they say, size really doesn't matter. I love to work with small startups and agencies too.

Side dishes
Outside work, I give talks, co-authored a book, and fiddled with coding a little bit. Playing around with typography. I’m also blogging like it’s 2005.
