About
Robert
Product designer with 8 years of experience.
Complex problem solver for large enterprises.
From Germany 🇩🇪. Living in Austin, TX 🤠.
My superpower
Analytical curiosity.
I am both a big-picture dreamer and a detail surgeon.
Breaking down complex systems, uncovering what others miss, and stress-testing ideas to reveal hidden opportunities and constraints.
I design with rigor and precision, always grounding solutions in real-world use.
My focus on clarity and insight helps teams move faster, make smarter decisions, and build products that truly work.
