From the sign to the screen: With the relaunch of bahnhof.de, we laid the foundation for providing information on Deutsche Bahn’s 5400 train stations online in one place. Within a year, the great team designed and implemented a solution that is also fully optimized for screen readers. I contributed to this product in the roles of Business Analyst and Owner with a strong focus on UX.

I love to clean up chaos. Be it in shelves and cupboards or in the digital world. It makes no difference whether content or visual design needs to be categorized. I always proceed in the same way and separate a chaos into its individual parts to recombine it again. By reducing a topic to the essentials I create the infrastructure for the following work.
