☕️
First employee at Momento — drew the first product concepts and led design through acquisition by TickPick (2026). Previously: UX at Mercedes-Benz and enterprise sustainability tools at SAP.
Building side projects with AI since 2023, starting with Tender, a steakhouse finder on iOS. Early on it was mostly ChatGPT and learning SwiftUI (versus today, where you can one-shot apps). The habit grew my Momento role from Designer to Product Engineer.
Building Stoic.talk on the side — an agentic Bitcoin DCA app where seven AI agents form a council and debate every decision. Designing and shipping the whole thing solo, figuring out what AI-driven finance feels like by making one.
🌎 #1 Sports app in multiple countries on iOS throughout the years
Momento started in 2021 as an on-chain jersey auction platform. It’s now a consumer app where fans collect every sport and music event they attend as a Momento — a personal trophy case of where they’ve been. I led product design through the pivot and continued shaping the app and design system.
UX/UI Design
🏆 UX Design Award 2018 (Category Product / Mobility)
🇩🇪🇺🇸 Contributed to 3 Mercedes UX teams across Germany + California
Across three Mercedes-Benz internships in Germany and California, I contributed to infotainment UX spanning navigation, vehicle consumption, and driving-mode visualizations. Working across UX Engineering, UX Design, and Advanced UX Design, I saw how automotive interfaces balance clarity, safety, and a premium in-car experience.
