UX Designer

Digitalist Group & Network

UX Designer involved in a great variety of projects, namely:

  • Customer experience concepts for airlines
  • Large Android customization projects for MNOs
  • Application design & delivery projects

Digitalist gave me the opportunity to work on a wide range of topics on a total of 7 different operating systems - on various OS flavors from Nokia, on TIZEN from Samsung, on Windows Phone and Android. Digitalist (called Ixonos at the time) created an open, friendly, inspiring environment encouraging innovation and ingenuity. Since it has been my first encounter with mobile apps I could not have wished to be at a better place.
