About

Hi, I’m Sven. I’m currently working remotely from Hamburg (Germany) as a Senior Product Designer for Flip, an employee app changing desk-less work.

I didn’t start my career as a designer, but as a developer. Because of this, I have a very profound understanding of the technology behind software and the web.

Today I focus on design. I create products from end-to-end. I’m a strong team player with a good sense for what matters (aka getting things done). I collaborate with all stakeholders to create great products for real users.

I love listening to music to relax and focus, expressing myself with art, and playing video games for inspiration and immersive experiences.

Process

I advocate for a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all process, recognizing that the optimal path varies based on constraints and goals. My preferred strategy for handling new projects is to release something solid very quickly, enabling real-world feedback and facilitating swift iterations.

Think

I begin every task with brainstorming, research and ideation to define the problem, understand user needs, and to establish the design goals, setting the foundation for the design process.

Design

I translate concepts and ideas into tangible designs, wireframes, or prototypes, and detailed specifications, emphasizing user experience, functionality and aesthetics.

Build

During the realization phase, I actively support developers and promptly respond to emerging insights, iterating rapidly on details with the ultimate aim of creating a product that not only looks but also feels exceptional.

Analyze

After the release I critically evaluate the performance and collect user feedback, allowing for iterative improvements, identification of strengths and weaknesses, and informing future design iterations.
