Hello, I'm Johannes 👋🏼

As a Strategic Designer (M.A.), I develop unique products, services, and product–service systems. I combine user experience design with business strategy to create solutions that are desirable, useful, and profitable. To do this, I draw on methods from human-centered design, futures research and both strategic and operational management. These include user interviews and testing, defining user requirements, analyzing future trends and markets, building prototypes as well as developing value propositions and business models.

In my free time, I like to stay active: I go to the gym regularly, kayak and occasionally go hiking or bouldering.

I also love traveling and discovering new places. I’ve developed a passion for photographing with prime lenses, so my Fujifilm X-T4 has become a loyal companion on every trip and excursion.

To satisfy my curiosity, I regularly read both novels and nonfiction, especially in the field of psychology.
