Hi, I am Karsten, a UX/UI designer from Munich -

and this is

a portfolio

You are probably not interested in me, but in how you can build a better product or service. This is not a portfolio but a story of how I might help you achieve this.

Recognize any of these problems?

No clarity on user behaviour

Ever felt like you're completely in the dark about user preferences? Sometimes, uncovering their desires can feel like a guessing game.

Endless Feedbackloops

Feedback really matters, but sometimes it feels like we are playing ping pong without getting forward.

Conflicts between design and dev

Designers and devs are very different species of humans. It can be hard to reconcile the interests of both sides.

Your product is great, the way it looks isn’t

You know that your product is fantastic - but somehow, the design just isn't quite hitting the mark.

Overcoming
these challenges

6. Handover and Release

The sooner the release, the quicker we can respond to user feedback. Through continuous iteration, we will steadily improve the design. You decide how many loops you want to do with me.

5. Execute and Refine

With the foundations set, the mental work is done. Moving forward, it is just a matter of diligently working through all details. To fully immerse myself, I will lock myself up and retreat into my focus tunnel.

4. Systematic base

With a clear understanding of all user needs we can make decisions about the foundations of the design system. We will define layouts, components, and styles using a systematic and scalable approach.

1. Analysis

In most cases, we will not start completely new from scratch. It is essential to closely examine what has worked so far and what has not. The more data we have available, the better.

2. Rapid Prototyping

I like to build things fast. Let's not care about all the tiny weeny details at this point and instead focus on creating a prototype to test our new ideas.

3. Testing

Let's take our assumptions out of the ivory tower and expose them to the chaos of real users' feedback. Adjustments will be needed - but that is okay. That is why we invested minimal time in the initial design.
