Founder - COO at New Monday GmbH
I’ve been working in the digital and design field since 2000 – over 25 years of experience that took me from graphic design to becoming a UX designer more than 15 years ago.
In 2018, I co-founded my own UX design agency in Berlin, which has since grown to a team of over 23 people (with a peak of 28) and a revenue of more than €2M. Our focus is B2B enterprise software, helping some of Europe’s most established companies transform their digital products.
Throughout my career, I’ve lived and worked across different countries – from Italy, the UK, and Germany (Berlin, Cologne, and more) to projects in Egypt and Croatia. I also spent many years as a freelancer before becoming a business owner, which gives me a unique perspective on different career paths in design.
Outside of work, I’m a father of two young kids (4 and 1), and I’m passionate about endurance sports – running marathons each year keeps me grounded and teaches me resilience.
As a mentor, I combine hands-on design expertise, international career experience, and entrepreneurial lessons to support designers and founders in shaping their own journeys.
