Simply E

Formerly, UXDOX agency founder. Now, a seasoned Product Designer and UX/UI Expert based in Berlin

Intro

Nice to meet you

I am a Senior Product Designer with over 15 years of experience designing complex products in highly regulated industries like Healthcare and Pharma, Enterprise Software, Financials, and Space Exploration.

After a decade of founding and leading design-driven companies, I now focus on hands-on product design and UX strategy, helping teams simplify complexity and deliver robust, user-centered systems.

Background

From industrial design to digital products

My formal education and early professional work are rooted in industrial design. The foundation shaped how I approach products today: systems thinking, function before form, and design decisions grounded in real-world constraints. Over time, this perspective naturally extended into digital products, where I now apply the same principles to interfaces, flows, and software systems.

The UXDOX legacy

From 2014 to 2025, UXDOX was my design agency and practical laboratory. It’s where I developed products, refined principles, led teams, and collaborated.

The same approach still defines my practice today: clear UX rules, reusable patterns, and a focus on systems that remain understandable and maintainable over time.

Mission

Empower businesses through exceptional design

I translate complex requirements into usable flows and calm interfaces. The focus is consistency, decision clarity, and scalable patterns so products remain maintainable while teams move fast.
