Requirements Engineering
Getting what you want and need is a matter of asking for the right questions in the correct way. I will create the technical documentation and requirements for your project – existing or new.
I support teams figure out what they need & how to build it
Freelance web consultant and developer, based in Vienna, Austria.
Since 2011 I am working and learning in the area of the web: from development, to design onto requirements engineering and workshop facilitation (Design Sprints, Lean UX, Agile). I came a long way on my journey and I am still learning something new every single day.
This website is at the same time my personal playground as well as my work website.
The work I enjoy most
Design System Architecture
After many years of frontend web development and UI design in Figma, architecting and documenting complex design systems is where I feel properly at home.
UX Design
User experience design is not user interface design. It's about using established UX methods to build the most user-centered experience possible.
Consulting
I don't just advise my clients, I support them in getting things done. My love for teaching new techniques and concepts also shines through everything I do. So be prepared to learn a few things.

What I work with on a daily basis
Arc Browser
The team behind Arc browser is trying to reinvent the browser. Arc is simply awesome and I highly recommend everybody to at least give it a try.
Obsidian
The best Markdown editor, which is completely free and very customizable through plugins and themes. There is also a huge community surrounding the tool.
Notion
A powerful documentation tool with a delightful text editor that is based on Markdown, with databases and sheer endless possibilities.
Miro
An online whiteboard with a whole range of different features and helpful templates to facilitate UX research workshops, and facilitate remote workshops.
Raycast
A very powerful Spotlight alternative which has a vibrant plugin community, awesome UX and a very nice design.
Toggl
A simple time tracking tool, which also provides various analytics and sharable dashboards for clients with time-based contracts.
Jira
A very complex but complete software for managing Scrum- or Kanban-based workflows within teams.
Visual Studio Code
My IDE of choice with extreme customizability through endless plugins, themes as well as great integrations with agentic coding tools.
Figma
The currently best tool for UI design, design systems — especially if working with other team members.
What I am currently doing
Currently exploring the application of AI in my work as a designer, developer – as well as in the areas of psychology and philosophy.
