Product Detail — Quantilope is a market research software that is based on scientific methods, which is fueled by complex algorithms that were developed by its team. Back in 2017, the team decided to redesign their provisional website. To inform the direction of the new site, we ran a design sprint beforehand. During the sprint, we saw an opportunity to remove some of the complexity by tailoring the available ...

Their Enterprise Cloud OS software melds private, public and distributed cloud operating environments and provides a single point of control to manage IT infrastructure and applications at any scale. With the constant growth of Nutanix’s design team and partnerships, we set out to create an extensive system that ...
Transition — With this portfolio, I wanted to push myself and explore directions that I wouldn't normally take and learn new skills along the way. While one of the goals was to branch out with the visual direction, the site still had to be simple and accessible - the same values that are deeply rooted in all of my projects. I'll post more about the project within the next days. ---- 💌 Interested in work...
Portfolio Loading Animation — With this portfolio, I wanted to push myself and explore directions that I wouldn't normally take and learn new skills along the way. While one of the goals was to branch out with the visual direction, the site still had to be simple and accessible - the same values that are deeply rooted in all of my projects. The nature of the animation - evoking feelings and emotions - is inspired by the '...
Dashboard — DailyDeal is a German e-commerce marketplace that connects subscribers with local merchants by offering activities, travel, goods and services in currently three countries. Back in 2016, DailyDeal decided to improve the merchant’s platform to help their partners to manage their deals more easily and provide them with more insights. During this effort, we also made first steps toward a new visu...
Submit A Request — Holvi, a Finland based FinTech startup, provides everything from banking to paperless bookkeeping and invoicing in one simple service. Holvi’s new visual identity builds on simple, geometrical shapes along with a bright and vibrant colour palette. When we approached the Help Centre we saw the opportunity to challenge the average bland experience by making the process of finding the right answe...

Outfittery Cart — Came across this old design I did for a project and noticed I've never shared anything about it. In 2014 I partnered up with Outfittery to help them with designing their new iOS app, delivering a better experience to their customers. The selection of clothes a customer is presented with is organised in outfits, each including several items a user can swipe through. Items in the bottom bar are...
On-Boarding — Early 2016, both @Danny Giebe and I were working on a mobile step counter that was commissioned by a large German electricity provider. The mobile app was part of a larger campaign. New users are sent through the onboarding flow, where they can subscribe to a newsletter, connect the app to Apple Health and enter their customer ID. For each step, we created an icon/illustration to make the jour...
Cart Wireframe — Early 2015 I led the interaction design at MING Labs, digitalising Vodafone's sales process for business customers. Catering for the different user needs and scenarios, we developed a set of features and interactions. One of the interactions was to enable sales representatives to modify individual items within a group that originally share the same attributes by listing every single element un...
Page Transition — Whilst working on the project, we thought a lot about meaningful animations to support creating a pleasant reading experience. Navigating the individual sections, or how we called them rooms, is a very frequent activity, but also requires loading larger images. While the image is loading in the background, we use the moment to educate the viewer about the vision of the organisation in form of...
Story Page — Back in late 2014, I worked with MING Labs on the redesign of NEO, who help align investor and non-profit resources to foster cooperation and increase impact across multiple social sectors. Part of the redesign was to develop a series of templates NEO could use to populate their website with content. ---- Follow me on: Instagram • Twitter
iOS Step Counter — Last year, both @Danny Giebea and I were working on a mobile step counter that was commissioned by a large electricity provider. The mobile app played into a larger campaign After endless iterations we finally landed on a final concept that we thought fits best with the campaign and engages users to be more active by providing something tangible—charging the battery. ---- Follow me on: Insta...
Step Counter Explorations — Last year, both @Danny Giebea and I were working on a mobile step counter that was commissioned by a large electricity provider. The mobile app played into a larger campaign, mostly analog. Once the most important screen had been identified, we started by exploring various visual directions, before eventually settling on the one that communicated the purpose behind the campaign best. The cor...
Calculator — Back in 2015 I helped out a start-up with redesigning their website, that enables its visitors to sell and buy holiday trips. Part of the core product, selling and buying holiday trips, was a calculator that allows users to calculate the termination fee and displays the travel operator's conditions. The top summarises the user's input in written form from the steps before, whereas the botto...
Product Detail — Back in 2015 I helped out a start-up with redesigning their website, that enables its visitors to sell and buy holiday trips. The detail view of a product features prominently, next to the image carousel in the top, a floating booking box with the most important information, that follows a visitor as they scroll downward. The dimensions of the images were determined by the database the image...
Product Catalogue — Back in 2015 I helped out a start-up with redesigning their website, that enables its visitors to sell and buy holiday trips. Running some lightweight research, we quickly had our initial consumptions about prioritising information confirmed: Where, When, From and Price. The discount in percentage as well as the original price are kept to boost conversation rates by playing to the user's emot...
Wireframes · Mail.app — Some more wireframes from an iOS email client I worked on in early 2015. I also wrote about some of the core features I had envisaged back then – the article was sent to the client to elaborate on the design decisions and was meant to be a presentation: https://medium.com/@grtner/blueprint-of-designing-the-experience-of-yandex-mail-5d508f157620#.va7bc21y6 Make sure to check out the full view,...
