Hi, I'm Michael, a Designer and Maker based near Düsseldorf, Germany. With a focus on user experience and UI design, I work as a design lead at Publicis Sapient, an agency for digital business transformation.
In my spare time, I make my hands dirty. Somewhere in between of digital design and handcrafts, I build stuff I like. Mostly made of wood.
I cooperate with awesome tool manufacturers like Shaper Tools, Mr Beam Lasers, Tools Today, and many more. Follow me on Instagram or find me somewhere else on the internet.
