Design still needs a human touch.

Senior product designer at Jodel, Berlin I figure out how things work, then design the fix. Now I build it too.Before that: eight years as Wingly’s founding designer, from intern to senior.

Today, code is as easy a tool as Figma.

→ a design system that halved delivery time

→ so now I build it too

→ 23 versions of this site to get here

→ and no slop grenades: I check AI’s work before it reaches anyone

You have been a great example of how any human can become a builder. Thanks for being hungry, getting hands dirty and contributing to the codebase from day one. Welcome to the kitchen!
