My Design Process

I believe that design alone does not give you a competitive advantage. It is the people who work on your project, experiences that they share and the common process that makes the difference. I will not present a solution to you without first analysing the actual problem. I may have been known to ask a few annoying questions that help you to look at your project from a different perspective which help make the right decisions.

01.

Strategy & Consultation

As an outsider, I look at things from a different perspective and find solutions that my customers don't see.

I don't sell empty promises or castles in the sky to justify my fee. With me you simply know what you get for your money, namely in addition to my professional and honest opinion, also a lot of experience and expertise, with which I'll put your project with all necessary strategic and design measures on a solid basis. With my objective view from the outside, I'll find individual solutions that will not only make you happy, but also your customers.

  • I can work how's best for you
  • Integrate within your team or independently
  • Workshops can be arranged

With this workflow, I can develop complex, digital products and launch them on time and within budget.

This workflow is best suited for the creation of your next corporate website, platform, or similar CMS-based solution.

My production process includes the UX conception, creation of wireframes and user / customer journeys, UI design, front and back end development, development support, quality assurance and testing, as well as the launch and editorial (CMS) training for your employees.

Brand Identity & Design

I'll help you with a future-oriented brand strategy to be successful on the market in the long term.

This workflow includes the development of an independent, visual identity that goes far beyond the initial creation of a logo and aims at a long-term successful and future-oriented brand strategy and storytelling.

I work with you to improve your products, services, organisation and communication internally and externally and to make it tangible for both your customers and your employees. A strong brand identity and a distinctive brand design are necessary prerequisites for successful brand management today and contribute significantly to the added value of your company. My 1 day Brand Identity Workshop could be the ideal start for this.

04.

Plan & Prototype

This workflow is the best option for startups, but also for established companies that want to develop their vision or test their next product idea.

Plan & Prototype projects usually start with my 1-day Product Workshop and then go into an intensive prototyping session. Based on the workshop results, this includes the initial UX concept, the creation of an initial brand identity, user and wireflows, UX & UI design, as well as predictive project planning. At the end, depending on the requirements, there is an interactive click dummy or a comparable concrete work result.

  • Usually 2-6 weeks project duration
  • Offer according to the agreed time quota
05.

Agile monthly process

As an agile professional, I'll work with you on the continuous design, development and optimisation of your product.

This workflow is best suited for ongoing projects. At the end of each month you will receive a detailed overview of the tasks processed and the hours worked from me. So you always keep an overview and move your product forward with flexibility. You will also get or provide the work road map for the following month. I can work on projects or solutions you require or I can run tests to push improvements on my own.

  • Accompanying the project
  • Agency based contract with an agreed term. Usually 2 - 4 project days a month

The Tool-Kit

I like to keep things simple and straight forward. In this way, I can manage large projects in a cost-effective manner and within a reasonable timeframe defined from the start.
