How to Design System is a collection of everything I learned about design systems.
- Article on Medium (featured by the UX Collective)
Experiment now! is a creativity project. Currently I am experimenting with the pen plotter Axidraw 🤖.
- Feature on designboom
- »No code« tutorial on Generative Hut
NO BETA FACES is a 1-year anti-racism challenge I did with three colleagues at SinnerSchrader.
Disarted explores with movement the coloration of paintings.
- Shown at DEMO FESTIVAL at Amsterdam Central Station
- Exhibited at Le Signe (biennale internationale de design graphique) in Chaumont
In this TEDx talk I tell how I discovered a completely new world of art and why I created the website »How To Opera«.
How To Opera makes opera more accessible for others by translating their plots into easily digested stories with illustrations and visualizations.

For the SinnerSchrader Agency Day Ziqi Hu and I made a Selfless Selfies performance (inspired by Jon Burgerman). In this session we sat opposite of our colleagues and drew each other within 90 seconds.
ARE.NA is my digital archive where I collect all kinds of sparks from the internet.
With my colleague Qiao Lu I create the sketchbook German meets Chinese in which we exchange expressions of our native language.
This Tape Art project was made as a welcome greeting for SinnerSchrader’s new neighbours: Mackevision. This artwork was created together with Mehmet Demir and Jamila Khan.
I love to clean up chaos. Be it in shelves and cupboards or in the digital world. It makes no difference whether content or visual design needs to be categorized. I always proceed in the same way and separate a chaos into its individual parts to recombine it again. By reducing a topic to the essentials I create the infrastructure for the following work.

In the CDO department, we work to bring digitization to train stations by scouting, innovating, enabling and scaling digital solutions.

Senior Product Designer
SinnerSchrader, Hamburg
At SinnerSchrader I developed the design system for Volkswagen. This includes the definition of components / rules / patterns, writing the documentation, creating the Sketch library, carrying out Europe-wide onboardings and the exchange with the development department. Furthermore, I worked on combining all knowledge about design systems in our company.
2014–2017
Head of Interaction Design
pReview, Berlin
I believe that structuring information is the best way to design inherent logic. At pReview I applied detailed analysis methods to explore these logic and to use it as a base for creating mental models and modular interfaces.

B. A. Integrated Design
Hochschule für Künste Bremen
I studied in the field of digital ↔ analog, creativity ↔ analytics and past ↔ future.
