Experience creator at heart About Me
Digital transformation only succeeds when people are at the center – this conviction shapes my work as a leader, researcher, and author. Building on User Experience (UX) methods and strategies, I empower learners and teams to thrive in a digital world. I work with organisations and individuals who want to create long-term value that is, at its core, deeply human.
Key facts
- Focus User experience (UX) strategy, human-centered learning, experience management
- Work experience Team lead, researcher, project manager – 15+ years creating excellent experiences
- Selected work UX courses, workshops, publications (Honorable Mention, Mensch & Computer 2025)

Who I am
People matter, and their experiences matter, Rooted in media studies and human-computer interaction across Germany, France, and Luxembourg, this conviction shaped my work as project manager and researcher: It helped me learn how to purposefully shape human experiences. This conviction is why I share my knowledge in books, articles, lectures, workshops, and seminars: They help people to grow and realise their potential. And this conviction is what drives me as a team lead: I create conditions that allow teams to make meaningful experiences possible. Ultimately, this is why "being human-centered" is not only a methodology for me. It is my core value.
This core value means seeing people holistically – with all their feelings, motivations, and lived realities. Personally, I love spending time with friends and family, preferably with an ice-cold mate and good music. I also love writing, cooking, and sports.
