About me

I’m a senior product designer based near Zurich, with 10+ years of experience across energy, mobility, education and robotics. I combine user research, interface design and front-end development to help people make sense of complex information.

I now work independently, designing and building interfaces in React and TypeScript. For Yutugy, I redesigned and shipped five connected product surfaces in six weeks. Previously, I led four designers at EF, delivering design system components adopted by seven products. I also joined Stanley Robotics as its fifth employee, designing the valet-parking experience from its early days through airport deployments.

Outside work, you’ll usually find me in the mountains, climbing or ski touring.

Based in

Zurich, Switzerland
