Bridging culture and technology with design since nearly two decades. Let's create something valuable and worthwhile (see examples below).

Current mission: help entrepreneurs and in-house innovators build sustainable customer-centric design-driven organisations. Available for workshops, consulting, direction, and mentoring.

Selected missions accomplished:

* Transferred the social experience of music lovers from analog to digital with tonspion.de from 1998–2004 (creative director). Thus pioneered curated and user-generated content before the term ‘Web 2.0’ was even coined. Helped to lay the foundation for one of the most long-lived music businesses on the web (tonspion.de is still operating successfully).

* Bootstrapped the revolution of online education with iversity.org from 2008–2013 (creative director, product strategist). Helped to turn a tiny student-founded university spin-off into the leading European MOOC platform and one of the few non-US competitors in the market worth mentioning.

* Educated some fabulous product/interaction designers as visiting lecturer at KH Berlin Weißensee (product design department, chair of Prof. Carola Zwick) from 2009–2012. Oh the incredible joy of seeing each individual talent grow, refine, and turn into the leading-edge professionals they are now. I might support your in-house team at this, as well. :) Get in touch, let's talk about your needs, questions, challenges – and your opportunities.
