Summary

HI, I'M OLIVER. UX/UI-ENTHUSIAST. User-centered design should not be an empty promise in my projects. The challenge - customer needs and Transferring "pain points" into intuitively operable software products is the greatest motivation for me with every new project. Over the course of many software development projects, I was able to take on different roles and sharpen my view from different perspectives. Today, my experience as an interaction designer, UX designer, project manager and service designer are important cornerstones in my design process and in my communication with internal and external stakeholders. Especially when working with developers. I have a lot of experience in UX design, UX architecture, user research, UX writing, and interaction design. For mobile applications and web-based software. B2B and B2C. In my projects, I also pay great attention to the context of use.

"My personal formula for successful projects: Curiosity for trends and technology. A look through user glasses. A look through business glasses. Communication at eye level."
