I have been designing digital media and products for more than 15 years.
My main areas
of
expertise are interactions, user experiences, and general visual design. My strong technical
background makes it easy for me to communicate with technical staff and
stakeholders.

Work Examples
Sonic Moves
Sonic Moves is a digital platform for the interaction of movement and sound. It is the
simplest and most user-friendly
way to experience and create a bidirectional connection between body and sound. The project
comprises two apps: Sonic
Moves Creator is an editing software that extends the conventional digital audio
workstation
with live body tracking. The
Sonic Moves Player is a plug & play app that lets everyone experience them
interactively.
One of Sonic Moves Creator's USPs is the purely graphical user interface which
should
make it easy to
create interesting sound arrangements and make them interactive. It "just works".
Sonic Moves Player App
The mobile Player app is minimal with as little friction as possible: Select
a
track,
press play, and
interact with the sound!
Logo & Icon Design
The Sonic Moves logo shows two round shapes which represent technology and humans. Where
they
overlap, a blank space appears, representing a place where something new can happen.
Website
One of the challenges for the Website was the goal to present the platform,
products
and services
in
a
competent way while keeping the content and scope manageable for a two person startup.
Corlife
Corlife is a life science company specializing in a revolutionary process for
treating
donated human heart valve
transplants. This makes it possible to implant the valves into all human recipients,
regardless of blood type, without
causing
rejection reactions.
Often, the implants grow together with the recipient's body.
The novelty of this process and the sensitivity of the medical field bring numerous
challenges for corlife: supporting
partners in implementing essential procedures, from collection to logistics; clearly
communicating the corlife approach;
and ensuring that the highest standards of moral integrity are upheld.

Logo Design
The logos for corlife's products are clean and simple, featuring different shades
of blue from the corporate design color palette.
The client requested a very careful redesign of the company logo. The goal was to
improve it in a way that made it easy to
transition
gradually from
the old version to the new, so that signs, stationary etc. would not feel outdated immediately.
Ensuring Process Quality
Handling human tissue donations is a high stakes job, and every piece lost due to faulty
process
or
wrong handling is a major loss. We developed many clear and instructive manuals and visual
tools
for everyone
involved in the chain.
Sincere Communication
Besides communicating with medical professionals, corlife also informs
patients
about
their service
and process.
Illustrations with a factual and human tone are used for this purpose.
Iconography
For quick communication about the different kinds of heart valve donations,
an
icon family was developed.
Sharing the Good News
corlife publishes newsletters which should provide actual value to their
audience
of medical professionals in the field of cardio-surgery. They are not "ads" but contain news
about current studies and more useful information.
Escapes of Jewish Girls During the Nazi Era
The further the National Socialist dictatorship recedes into the past, the fewer voices
remain to tell the story of that
time. This research project by the ⏵ Hannah
Arend
Institute for Totalitarism Research and the
⏵ Saxonian
Academy of
Sciences aims to
make the
biographies of Jewish women who fled
the "Third Reich" visible. The project is
based on data gathered from 157 audio interviews with contemporary witnesses. They have
been
transcribed and scientifically
evaluated. The resulting data is presented on an interactive map. Users can move through
time and space and follow the
biographies of individual contemporary witnesses.

Responsibilities
◼ Concept ◼ UX/UI-Design
Interactive Visualization
The main navigation elements of the visualisation are the map and the
timeline.
The map shows contemporary borders, according to the selected time span. On the left are
relevant
historical events which are mentioned in the interviews. Individuals can be selected from
the
map.
Once a person is selected, users can follow their biography and personal
memories
about their migration. Memories can be either read or
listened to. They are also catogorized semantically into the tag sets "Experiences of
anti-semitism", "Jewish
religion" and "Personal emancipation", which can be filtered.
