I'm a UX Engineer focusing on the loop between design and code.

My journey is a little different than most. I started my career by dropping out of my first apprenticeship as carpenter (which initially should have lead to architecture studies). Seeking for a more creative field I began exploring design by my own at the age of 16 followed by an apprenticeship as media designer at the media design university in munich. Fast forward a few years and I'm now a UX Engineer at the age of 27 constructing digital experiences (instead of buildings).
