Hi, I'm Fabian, a freelance product designer who focuses on pragmatic solutions to complex problems.
By combining front-end know-how and design expertise, I create compelling experiences for iconic brands such as SWISS, GROHE, Mercedes-Benz and IBM.
Moin
I'm Fabian, a seasoned product designer calling Berlin home. I'm on a mission to ensure that every click, every scroll, and every swipe you make is as seamless and satisfying as your last smooth landing in an airplane to your beloved holiday destination.
With a blend of creativity, business acumen, and tech-savviness, I design with the user's needs in mind – because let's face it, an experience that's not user-friendly is like an airplane without wings – it might look impressive, but it won't get you far off the ground.
From initial user research to pixel-perfect interfaces, I've got it covered. So, get ready for a design journey that will leave you pondering, "Why isn't everything online this awesome?" Together, we can enhance the digital landscape, one click at a time.
