About Max

🎯 I'm a freelance Digital Product Designer.

From user research to dev-ready high-fidelity prototypes, I design and de-risk digital interfaces using AI tools to speed up ideation and explore variants faster.


🔍 That means I help you
  • map user journeys
  • pinpoint UX friction points
  • build or evolve a coherent, accessible design system
  • and validate concepts through quick, lightweight user testing

💡 What sets me apart
  • A dual UX-UI and research background, built across complex, high-volume ecosystems (IoT, HR, video games)
  • Real ease collaborating with Product Managers, Product Owners and developers to land solutions that are desirable, accessible and technically feasible.

🤝 My kind of projects

I take on product redesigns, new feature design and UX audits, for companies of any size.
Preference for teams with a clear ethical stance, mixed-gender teams and mature, agile-driven processes.
