My process is focused on user centered product design. This is how I ensure to create outstanding experiences that people love to use.

How I make it work.

I work design driven – always in regards of technological feasibility. I like to challenge the status quo of a product to bring up the highest value to light. Therefore I work in loops to understand create and evaluate tought trough solutions:

I am doing interviews and map insights to understand users problems and needs.

I use gathered knowledge to rapidly create prototypes that offer solutions on my findings.

By doing user testing I evaluate if the solutions I created will serve the purpose.

Thoughts on sustainable product design.
