Hi, I’m Alexander.
I am a Service & UX Designer.
The development of both UX and design strategies for early-stage startups is a challenge I have excelled at more than once: I deliver the perfect balance of crafting long term visions, identifying and executing on need-based user journeys, and implementing scalable features necessary to empower both. With more than 10 years of experience, I know when and how to go beyond the theoretical, and swiftly deliver hands-on, quality results, while ensuring I have buy-in from both stakeholders and engineers. I have ample experience in creating and scaling up design systems with a robust toolchain to support demanding workflows, and the track record to prove it.
Mondoo — 2022 to Today
As a founding designer, I’ve been with Mondoo from the start, and witnessed the tiny start-up grow from 5 to over 60 employees. In only three years, we became the first cybersecurity EAP that does not settle for diagnostics to prioritize actually fixing findings through a guided remediation process, which landed us exciting contracts with all types of clients from Fortune 500 companies down to family businesses.
I created the first bits of the UI when there was nothing more than a command line tool, and implemented most of the main features of the platform in the following years, creating a full design system with reusable components for the brand. I advised on the UX strategy and was regularly in touch with customers to verify designs and conduct user research, significantly influencing the trajectory and highlighting the value of design as an internal resource.
Edenspiekermann — 2021
Edenspiekermann is the fourth biggest design agency in Germany, and has multiple offices around the world. Founded by world famous type designer Erik Spiekermann, the agency quickly developed into a full-stack design consultancy working with clients across industries.
I worked with the HUK insurance group in order to refine their design system and apply it to their digital ecosystem to optimize the experience for 12.5 million customers. As a strategic advisor, I redefined their workflows from concept phase to implementation, and worked on other digital transformation projects, for example for SAB and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, for whom I conducted workshops on-site and developed customer journeys and service blueprints short-term.
EDU & candena — 2018 to 2020
As founding designer, I became the Head of Design as we grew the world’s first fully accredited remote medical college from a blank piece of paper into a company of more than 100 employees, hosting students from multiple countries on their way to achieve the BA of Medicine.
amesso — 2017
As strategic advisor and UX consultant, I helped a hidden champion in the b2b sector develop an end to end digital transformation roadmap, starting with product design and ending in a revamped experience across digital touchpoints in this in-house consultancy.
The Early Years — Before 2017
Before I completely shifted my focus to only UX, I worked across multiple roles across industries to master as many creative disciplines as possible. From b2b & b2c Marketing over learning how to professionally produce and edit photos and videos down to setting newspapers, I can say: if you can think of it, I have done it.
Stolpersteine-Guide — 2015 to Today
Originally starting out as an app designed with two friends for one of our UX classes, Stolpersteine-Guide quickly got noticed by the media, and ultimately caught the attention of German television and radio station MDR. More investors came in over the years, and the app is still alive and popular 10 years on.
Let’s create great things together –
