UX Strategist
& Sustainability Specialist
15+ years shaping digital experiences for brands that care about impact. Bridging strategy, design, and technology — with a focus on sustainable business.
I help organisations turn complex challenges into clear, human-centred digital products. My work sits at the intersection of UX strategy, project leadership, and creative use of technology — always with a bias toward simplicity and measurable outcomes.
From co-founding a Y Combinator-backed startup in Boston to leading cross-functional teams at agencies across Vienna, I've built a career around one conviction: the best digital work starts with understanding people, not pixels.
