Hello there!
Hi, I’m Niklas – a UX designer and photographer with a background in Interaction Design from HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd. I work where usability engineering meets human-centered design – mostly in complex, regulated environments. I strive to find solutions to complex problems that offer real added value for people. In an increasingly digital and connected world, it is helpful to have an antipole. When I'm not working on projects with my team, you'll find me either wandering around with a camera in my hand or working in my analogue photo lab in the basement of my flat. To keep my body fit besides all the mental work, I love to explore the beautiful nature of the Swabian Alb or Lake Constance on my bike.
Empathy under Pressure
Working as a full-time paramedic gave me the skills to put myself in people's shoes and analyse their needs and problems. At the same time, I am able to keep a cool head under pressure and make rational decisions.
Learning in Discomfort
I sometimes find myself in a box of comfort or habit. Stepping out of it challenges me – and reminds me that growth means being honest, not perfect.
Light, Grain & Silence
Anything which has a lens and a shutter has become a small focal point in my life. Photography is my medium and language to express myself and to convey my perceived reality to the outside world.
Systems. Patterns. Clarity.
I think in structures. I enjoy breaking down complexity, translating insights into clarity, and turning abstract ideas into tangible outcomes.
