About

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Direction from the Academy of Art University, I have cultivated a robust career in product design and leadership. My journey began as a Co-Founder of Groupup, where I spearheaded strategic direction and product development. I then advanced to Product & Design Lead at erento GmbH, managing teams to enhance digital offerings with a user-centric approach. At Fanhouse, I led design efforts to refine user interfaces and experiences. Currently, as the Director of Product, Design, and Product Lead at Volume Media, I oversee product strategies to elevate user experience and drive business growth. My expertise lies in blending creative design with strategic product development to deliver innovative solutions across digital platforms.
