I am a passionate Product Designer, Manager, and Facilitator with a proven track record of creating user-oriented, clean designs of the highest standard. I enjoy combining my design, strategy, and management expertise with the conceptual, abstract, and psychological thinking that I developed during my studies at LMU Munich.
Teamwork and proper communication are very important to me, to generate a healthy and honest team culture, where people feel save.
My commitment to social competence helps with this, but it also strengthens my ability to empathize with users, customers, stakeholders, and colleagues, which is essential for Product Leadership.
